Sonnet LXXIII
Who is it that speaks truth? Where ancients lay, In tombs unwritten in the scars of hate Oh child, thine youth revoked, would ne’er play; Where tears froze to a crystal clear deathrate. Where life destruction found, this verse must speak, That to this gloomed hist’ry, lend vital pen When evil cloaked in number slew […]
Sonnet LXXII
A summer’s day at seventeen did play, And thereon mine destiny t’was written Thou found me in mine own sunshine display; That reticence ‘neath mine brow t’was smitten. A prince and a pauper, the same did find; For royalty veiled tis poverty’s gain Ambivalence sweetens that Spring resigned; And mine heart thine captive, new love […]
Sonnet LXXI
I grant thou wert of mine fond affection. Darling on the vine blushing in thy form To hold thee closer t’was my infection, And thine fragrant blossom a thunderstorm. Suddenly, completely, all instinct gone, Finding no way out, all safety forsake In thine perfection thou wert queen of swan; Such intoxicating beauty mine ache. If […]
Sonnet LXX
O, how I smile when I of thee do think, Beaming through rays of fond grace with delight And in thy praise do see thee in the pink, Your thun’drous merriment gay, oh, pleased sight. Discourse of thine own renown seize the ear; Let oceans freedom flow upon the shore As thine joy crashes upon […]
Sonnet LXIX
Whilst mine eyes open, thou mine heart did break Into a thousand pieces ‘neath thy foot Each shard a blade to destroy love we make, And heartlessly sever it at the root. Thy claim that such love was supremely rare, A fairytale much jealousy provoke Ne’er existed as the record doth bear, Burned holes in […]
Sonnet LXVIII
So oft have I upheld thine word as truth, Beyond all understanding of respect Such were the days of melancholy youth, That all cruel at heart I could not detect. In the wisdom of age hath I returned To a simpler time that virtuous faith Flying close to the bold Sun yet ne’er burned, Living […]
Sonnet LXVII
In bamboo wood I rest mine spirit bold; For such is the land of golden dragon, Far in the ancient East it hath been told, Where wave struck an imperial wagon A proverb bare and naked to the world, Expressed in noble sanctity doth rise; And around the Sun’s path hath humbly twirled, Such simplified […]
Sonnet LXVI
Infinite sky how luminous thy path; Where delta wings curvaceously caress The heav’n in all peaceful purity hath; Rocket floating above with such finesse. Engines roaring, blast thine body upward; So that time dissipates around this sphere, And chic this white diamond flies skyward; For beauty beholden to the heav’ns near. That for naught compares […]
Sonnet LXV
Why is mine heart so lonely with despair, Lost beyond all stars of the universe? Why reach for the moon if banishment bear, Only to see thee here expressed in verse? Why know I still thou hath returned to me, To preserve mine heart in thine guard always, That every living dream tis met by […]
Sonnet LXIV
So art thou mine own as air is to breathe Fresh as morning dew awakens in Spring, And love to the newborn as ay doth teethe, For golden shines wedding ring’s first glist’ning. Stealing the moment as light meets new eyes, Where love responds in an instant whirling Such refrain where two hearts meet in […]
