Sonnet CXLIV
O, thou art moon shadow’d love hidden deep;That mine heart slain doth traverse such carnage;Seeking love elsewhere bound by twilight’s sleep,Thine cunning elixir mine wounds forage.Let mine plea reason love warrants defense,Knowing well thine beauty tis but mine foe.Why need’st thou enemy that bears thee hence?Tis mine own debt unkind injury bestow.To glance upon this […]
Sonnet CXLIII
All that becomes a mother tis selfless,That beauty divine ceaselessly flowing,A love beyond age forever fearless,Her heart within mine own soul e’er knowing.Bright as Venus delicately at play,Orbiting the Sun’s beaming gaze outward,Calming the strain of night as doth the day,Where heav’n’s joy streams vibrantly downward.Such luminous reflection of the Gods,Bearing our burdens and shoring […]
Sonnet CXLII
Plentiful joy in thine eyes appearing,Morning’s child owning the day enlightened,As mine heart unto thee gently nearing,Found contentment in thine concern heightened.Calm and beholden to a higher call,Thine soul mine youth did’st so gallantly guide;Upon tremulous wat’ry depths did fall,Mine fear dispelled as faith’s bid plunged the tide.Soaring upward, mine reach the surface found,A heady […]
Sonnet CXLI
That one ought wed one’s dearest gentle friend, Tis truth simply held in heart easily won, Where melancholy fool ne’er thine heart bend, As night befriends the soul eclipsing sun. And radiance mislaid tis fauna’s rebuke, Ne’er blooming thus as cloudy mind o’er takes, For ambition tis wanton jaded fluke, And flora stayed till […]
Sonnet CXL
You wound me in senseless brambled wood; As spindle foretold of true love most rare, That evil spell denied a realm’s childhood, Where kingly estate’s repose did despair. Thine shield a rose, a weapon forged in truth, Converged upon briar densely woven deep, A portend pledged upon thy tattered youth, And dragon black t’was smashed […]
Sonnet CXXXIX
Let humble bells ring out tolling skyward, And match the cadence of mine drumming heart For restless sorrows imprisoned inward Flee as crackling embered flame doth depart The old year passes as day turns to night Where glimm’ring truth hath lost its noble face And dreams denied t’will ne’er such stars ignite Bearing witness and […]
Sonnet CXXXVIII
My love is as an empire standing tall,Upholding tenets of heart towering,That repel the empty stark stone-cold wall,Feeding the soul and spirit nourishing.Such devotion is thine elixir now,Anger subsiding yet affection dies,As desperation’s cloud hovers thine brow,And storm-cracked limbs flailing and winged flies.Reason escaping as madness ensues;Discourse and pining vainly beckon thee,For random promise truth’s […]
Sonnet CXXXVII
Rare empathy mine heart and soul cherish;Explore the recesses of mine being;Sing of sacred song that ne’er shall perish;The cup of living all hope decreeing.Why so bold a risk that kindness tis spent;For to the light thou once gazed in glory,As heartbeats fade and bold shadows relent,And life emerges from strife’s own story.Within mine soul, […]
Sonnet CXXXVI
Those pools of blue opened by heaven’s door Light peering across the annals of time, Sought by languishing sadness seeking more, Rooted in hope as love’s great oak did climb. Skyward giving way greets the gentle dawn, Where mercy defies all fragment of doubt, Through forests dark away the tender fawn; Beholding gold beyond what […]
Sonnet CXXXV
As mime the comfort of silence doth love, Which suggests me still a spirit broken, For rightly fair, tears stream down from above, And white face hides injustice unspoken. Painting portraits that leave nothing to doubt, Masterful knowing of bold humankind Meaning found as movements suitably shout, Artful notions delicately refined. Crossing life’s expressive ability, […]
