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 […]
Sonnet LXXXII
So shall I better grasp thine thought and deed, For held by thine ruse, mine heart filled with doubt, And at risk, devise a plan to be freed, That freedom ring forth, day in and day out. Slave to summer rain sliding and flailing, Where other bears thine tender embrace near, Tears falling upon darkness […]
Sonnet LXXXI
Pensive the man that thinks in black and white; For such depth of thought dips the shallow end, And this display repeats till morning light, Ne’er having thine own judgment to suspend. For shallow waters do shallow man make, As that which ne’er sees the light of the Sun Happy as shadows of dim night […]
Sonnet LXXX
The birth of fame tis the creative mind, Where affluence and treasures occupy And such glory did fortune herein find, In eyes of sycophant and passersby. For those who do flaunt and play the hedon, Pledge their hearts to fast pleasured bounty Yet, I were one, thou would find me redone; Seeking refuge in another’s […]
Sonnet LXXIX
Love me as thou wilt; when I leave this place; For deeds have spoken in my life and heart, Though you will not hear voice, nor see mine face, Thou wilt know that I loved you from the start. See me a young lass with smile of a pearl, Or in a cluster of blossoms […]
Sonnet LXXVIII
Could I forsake thee in thine blunder, And in this verse spare thee mine own witness; Lamenting of spirits held asunder, Where from the cold depths bear able fitness. Thou art a love for the ages with grace, That sets a full life upon higher wealth As I so discover’d mine own disgrace When I […]
Sonnet LXXVII
When thou shalt be inclined to set me free, T’will be a reckoning in face of angels Upon the clouds no mortal judgment be And passion’s truth so keep the sentinels. That words rap on doors as stolen thunder, Entering on thresholds of newfound fact Where pirates once mine own heart did plunder, Such deeds […]
Sonnet LXXVI
Glory! Thou art the sunlight to my day, And in sorrow’s night thou mak’st stars to shine: The laughter issuing tis mine gateway; This union in eternal love combine. So how long must I wait to see thy face, And in thine eyes gather all such riches? For diamonds fair can ne’er lose favored grace,Dancing […]
Sonnet LXXV
Was it the loud boisterous wind at thy back, Sailing upon seas of imaginings,That waves hath toss’d and forced thine vessel tack, Making thine ship the craft of awakings? Was it Neptune’s rage, that turned thee ‘round Thine bow turn windward, thy course compelling change? Nay, t’was I, that dreamt thee in moonlight crowned, Calming […]
Sonnet LXXIV
Of that which I truly love, I love thee; More than a windswept current pelt the shore Fast as newborn turtle swims back to sea, Where they meet in perfect dawn once more. In this blaze of propriety hearts sing; Songs of an incandescent symphony Of Aqua-blue-green crests undulating, As bubbles meet sky in matrimony. […]
