A very well-written sonnet. True love can make the coldest soul to warm up and start to feel emotions towards another that are good and makes us feel alive.

I perceive this amazingly-rendered Sonnet as a work of true romance, composed with deeply gratifying emotion, and (to my mind's-eye) precisely what being in-love should be ... an exemplary description of what "love is blind" feels like when the heart sees deeper and purer than the eye ever will.

A beautiful ending always blesses something wonderful inside of me ... warmest hugs 'n happy smiles to you! ~ Richard : )

This is a well-written contest entry. I think you did well completing the challenge of the contest. The words flowed line to line combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a beautiful, well written sonnet. I could feel the love as well as the hesitation and fear of rejection. Excellent meter and rhyme. It flows so lightly, it feels as if the words are dancing on the page.

One note:

---I pray the heart will render thy eyes blind.

I think this should be "thine eyes" due to the word "eyes" beginning with a vowel. Similar to the rule for "a" and "an" ( a dog; an elephant).

These unattractive features that are me,

That's why it's best to meet in dim light. People tell me I look just like Brad Pitt, with the lights off.

Perfect rhyme scheme, cadence and turning point in the third quatrain. Is heartbeat one word where you come from? It is in my part of the world! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fortunately love is sometimes blind! LOL
