Sonnet 340 (Final Winter)
I watch as leaves from Arbor safety fall
Once swathed in summer breaths of cold now blast
Their brilliant shades can’t breach the nighttime pall
What seemed so long, in truth, can never last.
And, so, I saw forever in a leaf
Before its cradle of tranquility
And learned our life’s own season is as brief
While Heaven did beckon only distantly.
And though the leaf did fall, the tree stood still
What fragile showed, to me, a higher plane
We are like leaves...

Where Angels Sing
You spoke, but your heart took over
What I heard is your heart your words betray
So that propriety did not seem so sober
But, your love for me plainly say.
I wish we could tear convention apart
And let our feelings past it rise
For there is no denying what is in our heart
That no social pretense can disguise.
But, it seems our love must find another place
Even though, here, it seems so very clear
Maybe only heaven our love grace
Only there your words ca...

Where Love Best Belong
Why did I ever doubt what you feel for me?
Today, you only showed how I am insecure
Before such stakes I was afraid what could be
But, then, your words spoke of something sure.
What's left is that convention must be let aside
So your words my love for you express
The proof when you're lying by my side
And your body and soul before me undress.
But, what I write here this page only know
When I see you again can my desires obey?
For the circumstances we...

My Heart Should Know
I saw a glittering object on the ground one day
Attracted, I picked it up to get a closer look
But the sun started to fade, the sky turned gray
In my hand stood this dull stone my fancy mistook.
I can only wait for the sun to soon return
And its brilliance to once again, in the day, glow
Until then for what stirred my heart must yearn
Maybe it's not this stone but my heart should know.

Never Mine
I saw a stone glittering but not for me
Yet, for anyone else its brilliance see
In this world not meant for such treasure
Despite its beauty denied such pleasure.
So, this stone does not, for all, shine
Even its most colorful rays not mine
With its hues so vibrant and bold
Never meant for me to hold.
So, why am I teased by its brilliant array
If not meant for me to stay?
Shall I be content only knowing its there
While its facets for me will not bare?
So, ...

Endless Love
You may leave me but your love can never let go
Love does not bow to the cold whims of Time
For as soon as I depart, here, to your arms go
And I will abandon all my sorrow in this rhyme.
This world in all its vastness, still, a fleeting thing
And all that consumes it, one day, will die
It only truly lives with the joy you bring
A joy I find in whatever place, with you, I lie.
I realize that all life is but granted a lease
That, here born, will ultimately expire...

Empty Page
This page is blank where I have to write about you
What should I fill it with, what metaphors will impress?
What techniques to express what in my heart true?
I would rather keep this empty if your love to me undress.
Shall I care that these lines past our lives survive
That when read by others to posterity grow?
But, what matters most is when you are here alive
I don’t care what some future readers know.
I might fill this canvass where you best rendered
And the colors...

Meant to Be
I tried to let you go as painful it could be
Yet, I thought, despite reservations, let you go
First, it seemed that you, from me, would be free
But, when I looked again your image still show.
Having failed, despite wrong , I cannot try this again
To see you back I will not, through such trial, undo
Now. I wish what returned is only destiny's refrain
That no matter what obstacles will be with you.
I will wake up to see if this miracle didn't disappear
I will sl...

Don't Go
Oh, don't go, but, wait you are not here
I guess in my heart you never leave
Though in this world you don't appear
Not seeing you, only left to grieve.
Don't go, honey, let my dreams be
Or else in them please let me see your face
If here such beauty I cannot see
It does not matter in what realm you embrace.
Can you please stay around long enough to hold
And not let my imagination your absence cover?
Now you give what the best love stories have told
I will sacrific...

I Saw a Rose
Is saw a Rose as I was walking one Spring day
Winter's radiant rebuttal flowering so regally
Like the beauty you brought my way
Knowing after the coldest days you came to me.
However, soon the Rose's petals start to fall
Such glory cannot long live
What I thought lasting nature's rule befall
Not long does life such delight give.
And how fleeting this Rose I should have realized
What I held dearest would soon go
It does not matter how much it is prized
Too quickly w...

Sonnet 342 (Your Love I Know)
The boughs are bare where late the birds once sang
And, too, the garden cold where flowers grew
And gone the warmth the day too me once brang
Those sunny days that I had spent with you.
And darkness falls where once the day so bright
The night too quickly ushered in its place
This world is best when in your eyes alight
And winter thawing where your beauty trace.
And you the sun where my own soul does live
Like birds that always sing their melody
So ...

Living Dream
So tired but don't want to sleep
Awake, despite how weary a chance to live
While asleep no more hope I can keep
My eyes better open so one more effort give.
Succumbing to my dreams all I wish may come true
What in this difficult world is now denied
But, even if this realm brings me to you I see you
In the sober morning know my dreams have lied.
And though I am weary ready for this temptation
Something inside of me makes me fight
For it is only here I can ...
