Sonnet 345 (Our Love Still Grow) I should not grieve that you have gone away Instead be glad for all the joy you brought And though you're gone your memory will stay For you fulfilled the happiness I sought. And now each day still special in your wake Because this Earth was touched by our embrace And so, from each this satisfaction take I feel your heart though you have left this place. And still the Robin’s notes will sound as sweet The ocean's waves as gently roll to shore The morning’s rays t...

Life Without Love I know what life without love is A poor poet struggling for tools to find Never needed when I tasted your kiss Then inspiration would never leave me behind.
I could compare you to a summer's day And show how you were more fair Now this world only gets in the way And Heaven's gain, for you are there.
Yes, to our love these words could be a testament And, if read, give new life to you But when I close the page you are absent Mere lines to express my love will never do.

Sonnet 344 (This World Move)
The sun now shines but still not bright
The day is warm but still, to me, feels cold
The song bird’s notes do not on me alight
So long as on this Earth your hand can’t hold.
Though Roses bloom their radiance don’t see
Their gardens full but, still, to me are bare
The beauty only seen when you're with me
And all else pales when, in your sight, compare.
And life goes on but, yet, to me stands still
All else may live but, now, my heart denied
For all th...

In this Rhyme
With your spirit gone what else remain?
This world cannot its riches boast
For a jewel in sorrow's light but plain
When Life takes what you love the most.
I am but Death undone, an empty shell
A ghost where once my blood did flow
And doomed this lonely world to dwell
This burial ground no other death need know.
The most vivid sounds I hear but mute to me
Its brightest colors are only coldly dull
The only taste I have is for eternity
To take me from this place Life...

Sonnet 343 (Your Love)
How sweet your voice that lightens up my day
When robins sing your chords their notes inspire
A perfect melody their music play
Arousing in this man still more desire.
How wonderful your eyes that stir my soul
I look into as mirrors of your heart
And this day's light, through them, does clearly show
I learn that, from your sight, can’t live apart.
How heavenly your walk is on Earth's land
Massaging fawning breezes in your wake
Your spritely sway where my s...

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 ...

Sonnet 341 (Your Love Bare)
And when my final breaths are drawn from here
And where such air as this don’t know I'll find
I'll find the place most blessed where you appear
When followed by our bodies' love entwined.
So, this the place our love best in rapture bound
The consummation that our love most see
I do not need to know where else it’s found
Enough joy here when you are lying next to me.
So, painful that this ecstasy will not know
When past the...

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...

Sonnet 339 (Time's Hand)
And soon the steely hand of Time will come
To coldly grasp the one who makes life sweet
Now like a winter tree whose leaves succumb
My life a barren place where once complete.
The honeyed melodies that birds once taught
Will strike the chords of loneliness in me
The blissful warmth the morning sun once brought
May still rise high but darkness all I'll see.
Where once we lay before the ocean's shore
And as we kissed the waves did gently sigh
These fawning...

Last Verse
This is my last verse I will write
No use writing anything more
Even though you make my world right
Life has closed every other door.
Is love enough, then, this fact overcome?
For beyond it its challenges still face
Perhaps these to your arms succumb
And will be forgotten in your embrace.
But, is there anything left when so much lost?
Seeing you, only reminds how it could have been
To express what I feel not show the cost
That behind lines of love painfully ...

Love is Never Altered
I love you, please don't ever let me go
Even when I am no longer here
My love for you will always know
This, not my leaving, is my only fear.
Love is never by anything here altered
For its spirit no earthly constraints transcend
But, despite all odds, it grows undaunted
Born of this earth, here will not know its end.
But, an unwavering mark, like a star in the night
That its fixed course never dulled or trimmed
But, when the day ends is still in my s...

Sonnet 338 (The Only Certainty)
Don't think you ever know what time will bring
Despite what certainty you think you know
For all your facts are but a fragile thing
Like sturdy trees, away, the wind will blow.
And even mountains, too, one day erode
Today that seem, on earth, invincible
But underneath their realm their end unfold
To us, their majesty most visible.
And ocean waves seem destined for the shore
Not thinking that, one day, they will run dry
But at their banks yo...
