Sonnet to my Lover
You asked what I had thought about that nightAnd I just stared into your eyes and smiled,For how could I express beauty in sight Without imperfect image then defiled?Instead I asked if ever you had trackedHow many twinkling stars litter the skyWhile knowing dawn will come before the fact,But you just shrugged and gave to me a sigh. Your eyes gaze galaxies I crave to know,Both gently traced by y...
Ophelia’s Room
She looks upon the plants with jaded eyes,The leaves and layered petals to endear,Wishes to crystallise them, grip them, hearThe rip, the knots of skin tissue untie. She lifts a daisy head, melts at its cry,Its silent psalm, singing so soft and clear,Praises herself for shedding a small tear,Observes the tightness of a face grown wry. “O Daisy, dear,” she whispers, firm but mild,“I know your p...

Love Sweet Love
My love, adoration I give to you.Love sweet love, pure and true and untainted,My love, this I vow to bestow upon you. To God, I thank for being acquainted. You may ask how love can be oh so sweet.The garden with the prettiest flowers,The garden whose grass is always most neat.With trees so majestic and strong they tower.Or like the full moon that shines so brightlyAnd the stunning stars scrapin...
Lily Of The Valley: Sonnet ABBBA Pattern
A heart pure as white but slashed with a red scar.It bled its sharein heartache and despair.I wasn’t fair,from day one it was clear just how far.Leaping and jumping for something,Just to receive nothing.That’s when it started cutting..Swallowing me whole like a pit of tar.It was so beautiful,Majestic even.So blinded I didn’t think of leavin’,Then I did and started heavin’.I started to realize j...
Sonnet of the sky
Something about the way she talks Keep my ears up like a kite Yellow clips contain your Goldilocks Lanterns fill my eyes at sight A few days without your laughter Remind me of a barren wasteland Time flies by around you after Her jokes make it hard for me to stand One of her endless traits Memorable like her evergreen eyesA heart worth 1000 estates She’s Mary Jane the way she gives me highs Sh...
It’s My Life
No life like there’s no tomorrow,I can only do my best,Only thing worse than drowning in my sorrow,Is falling behind with the rest.A world of gloomy weather and dead flowers,Is the world that I’ve grown to love and know,A world where words have no power,But my actions are what move the show.I was taught since birth that I’m of no worth,And I was not going to live past 21,For over 30 years now I...
