Sonnet XC
O let me ponder, what I myself am; For mine reflection tis regal and stead, That truth surpass palace of Buckingham; So kingdoms rise and nobly bow the head. In rev’rence, I with gratitude look on; And in this vision, I see renewed life, Where timeless honesty greets the new dawn, Moving beyond comfort, think […]
Sonnet LXXXIX
Where art thou, Cupid, let me conjur thee? With thine bow end the world of turmoil’s pain; For love’s language hath deeply captured me, Till the hands of fate surround thee again. How do you speak love universally? Return, arrowed cherub, and set thine aim; Was thine fate to rise up from this valley? Or […]

Sonnet LXXXIV
So empty thou doth amble among trees, Where leaves descend and offer no relief Thine heart breaking while talking to the breeze; Tis losing time for life is ever brief. This time we have is as the tempest rain, That falls at will and coaxed by dark clouds Thine music desperately hits dim refrain, Boldly […]
