Sonnet XCVII
O, never say that thy king hath sorrow; For loneliness tis nature’s royal heart; Nor ask him his golden crown to borrow; Ask of thyself for kingdom do thy part. Upon this realm, a flame of justice burns; And over time, ancients spoke of honey; On loyal tongues where sweetness ever yearns; Where throne room […]
Sonnet XCVI
Contentment tis birth of satisfaction; Confinement tis doom of complacency; Atonement tis act of reparation; Desolation tis time of vacancy. For all that to thee matters most tis bliss, And when love given freely tis altered, A new life t’is born from the softest kiss, Where all t’was e’er attempted hath faltered. Love is made […]
Sonnet XCV
In praise of the dread chronicles of time, I do in discomfort construct my claim, Where youth’s exquisite phrases therein chime, That prophesies and portends defend the same. Making progress a dirge in this vexing race. As master’s peer into love’s divine eyes, Spreading goodwill o’er all Earth’s sacred place, E’en so speed may flux […]

Commiseration, so dance the duet, Minds overflowing with commanding verse, Vision blurred by such knowing’s undue fret, Losing sight of all purpose thee traverse. As jagged seas’ waves […]

For table tis set, thou stand at my side, Glimmering in the light prepared for drink, Lifting up in toast of joy undenied, And with me in […]
Sonnet XCII

Sonnet XCI
Love doth lift us up out of the darkness; As realms of obscurity seek their own Love’s open harmony heals apartness, Till roots do run deep and leaved-trees are grown. Love tis the light in the shadowy night; Moving across the azure sky in waves, Commanding the stars to proudly unite, Turning darkness to crystal […]
