Sonnet CXXXIV
Lo! as winds dance in the nocturnal sky; Feathers float upon waves of travesty, Behold mem’ries that love cannot deny, Setting the Sun in noble honesty. The infant heart beats in cadence e’er pure; Whilst jaded Mandarins troll open seas, Neglecting all for that which may endure, Turning care to dust breaking what may please. […]
Sonnet CXXXIII
Love merits beauteous mystery at play; As fear resounds thy face doth hate exude, And pained virtue hath lost all hope this day, That thunder shakes earthly disquietude. Ever, if it be, the crimson rose dies, Profaned in falsehood born iniquity, Once pouring down from cobalt cloudy skies, Bowing low defying heart’s gravity. Love’s laws […]
Sonnet CXXXII
Fair lady, I thee hail with fond regard A feast to grace that melody inspire That such beauty named by this humble bard Would sweetly urge the heavens to conspire Ingrid, beautiful, beloved, spirit For they in thee a thousand notes be sung Let drum and string play for all to hear it And toast […]
Sonnet CXXXI
Even the gold of princes gleams for thee, And silver’s dulled luster doth seek thy sheen. Brighter than the rays of Sun dare decree, Thy face in shadow dimmed tis in between. Waste not thy defensive gazing spirit, For unswept ghosts of passion multiply, And boldly spoken decree dare hear it, Within lies hope where […]
Sonnet CXXX
O, give not mine heart powerless appeal; But, be that kindness where hope doth spring forth, That beat by beat upon the wind do steal; Set onward thine compass to sail due North. Say thou lovest and with thine soul forbear; Bend thy cunning shield for all hope abide, For scars remain as foolish hearts […]
Sonnet CXXIX
Why didst thou play amid the ashen sky, And beckon thy raging fired anguish cease, Swirling amid as orange and blue deny, Thy cloak calming forsaken folly’s peace? As omens foretell of storm dying mist, That blankets not salvation hearts aflame, For life lived among cloudy-minded fist, Binds not these wounds nor heals not this […]
Sonnet CXXVIII
When such refinement thinks me of love’s might Tis as black silken ravens touch the dawn To believe in that which joy calls to light And summon glory as they gently fawn. Thus, speaking in simple truths that bind us Although such love tis of mystery made Giving credence to music glowing thus That light […]
Sonnet CXXVII
Thou beneath alluring canopy rare, Hide not thine beauty from mine doting eye; Behold such heavenly branches raw and bare, Fill mine empty arms where thou once did lie. For falsehoods seize the senses all men hide, And cloaked in darkness deeply harbor love As plain as day they boast and brag with pride, Passing […]
Sonnet CXXVI
If thy soul wills thee to seek beauty rare, Be not blinded by the sun’s rays streaming, Trail as thine inward inclination bare, And taste the fruits of thy labor teeming. As the sound of thine searching speaks in truth. Ay, sweet aria bellowed from rafters, And let lithe flow beckon back from thy youth, […]
Sonnet CXXV
Whoe’er hath hatred in their soul burning, And loathe thine own as fire endlessly grows Where life lost within tis darkness churning; For sweet love discovered doth bare thy woes. When thine will walks along a higher path, And rises vouchsafe for true love unknown, Such judgment renewed denies all thy wrath, Where human kindness […]
