Sonnet CLXIV
Lo! in glee’s merriment with the gracious lightBursting upon dancing feet, each under stars Such tribute raised anew sparkling bright,Laughing eyes broad open the size of Mars. And having soar’d the constellations wideA winged buffoon howling into the windOrbs turning rearmost to mine ears confideAttending to thine secrets ne’er chagrined But blithe and clever grins, in […]
Sonnet CLXIII
Eyes that speak, how thy crystal word shatters,When night outward lives within these ramparts.For my love hath left mine youth in tatters,And courage wanes when pleasure’s heart departs. Where sweetness once chose its tender flower,Under the brightness of the midday Sun,And didst sweetly chide thee, from the towerA view this rite of passage had begun. […]
Sonnet CLXII
When all light hath been taken for grantedAnd burnt embers frame a valiant skyPonder the divine sapphire enchanted,Once the blissful poetry of Versailles; Where vision blurred the barren edge of treesWhich stood ‘fore thee a royal diadem,And kingly virtue brought thee to thy kneesDazzling truth the likes of which ne’er condemn, For thy beauty do […]
Sonnet CLXI
How savory tis flora scented lustWhen row upon row art weary trodden?Gardens long denied parched worn abust,Mine own love’s source of freedom to broaden. Where ideals aching in thee art inclined,A furtive tear dampening hallowed ground,But defends that noble code stands the mind,And echoed fanfares teeming strain in sound. To pedals rising sunward lift thy […]
Sonnet CLX
So, am I what thou doth see’st, a face lost?In the bamboo wood a tiger to meet,As rain slants upon the bold waters tossed,Tides upward rising swallow up defeat. Therefore, one holds to solemn holy ground,Where rare sightings art in mine soul revealed,Like crystal refractions echoing sound,On golden sails upon the gale doth yield. For […]
Sonnet CLIX
The sting! over in an instant love ends, A shattered soul destroyed, bids thee farewell. Weep, if thou wilt; for time sorrow defends, Where spiraling lust bursts this youthful shell. For minds possess’d with murderous ego, Slash ‘gainst childish innocence conspiring, Reveal suspect’s rooted deceit ergo, Caged in disenchantment’s wake desiring. O, silent thought that […]
Sonnet CLVIII
Oh, ageless account, thine silhouette glowsStrikingly serene, thy form trimmed by grace;Born of the gods such exquisiteness grows,Thy light bewitching the whole human race.Shine, fairest-one dear, devour the darkness;For where thou art, shadow and din fadeSpurn the tillage of such starkness,And expose the auspicious masquerade.Sing the hero’s ode, thy lineage fulfill,Proclaim cherished vigor within thy […]
Sonnet CLVII
O ponder, this upon the colored windFor unbroken truths art beauty defined,Where cast and hue upon my love grinned,So dear thou art, the unforgotten kind.Make bright the darkness, shine as distant stars;Words unspoken in language infinite;Regal diadems, enchantment of tsars;Bend ears of saints in heavens intimate.For no need of acclaim, wilt thou be known;Fault, nor […]
Sonnet CLVI
Always play hard that I may hear thy heart,Pure moonlit night stirring valley’s withinStrumming softly my youthful song impart,With expressive grace and thy mandolin.Thy hand in mine such love in veiled accord,Like melody streaming through space and time,Memories golden shall ne’er be ignored,So that myself hears only light in rhyme.Never to be lost in forests […]
Sonnet CLV
Shout heavenward across the crimson sky; For mehears Olympus mine soul doth call; Soar among stars upon Pegasus fly;Set clouds afire let Zeus’ lightning enthrall. Tis but the favor of the Gods I seek,Of battles forged and vain glory foretold,Where turn of fortune t’was born of a Greek,And matrimony soared on wings of gold. Lift […]
