Poetry of Love
Sonnet #1
Love at all times transcends thought sane, and rhyme. Beauty will ne'er recede throughout the years. Worship, no loss with life's decline of time. Devotion, without bounds, no step unclear. In truest form, love renews with each sight, Grows deeper, richer, more with each new day. My darkest times are at once given light By your unfalt'ring love and caring way. My love for you lacks bounds in heartfelt song. You move me to heights not known in wise thought. In your warm eyes ne'er can I do you wrong. Your love is purely giv'n, not forged or bought. You make my life complete through wondrous ways. You lead my heart in love through dark and haze. |
Sonnet #7 (The Wedding Sonnet)
One mind perceives thoughts odd, not known at all. One mind considers love in sing'lar ways. Two minds complete the rigid tower tall. Two minds combine for love through all their days. One person chases dreams not understood. One person feels a hole that's undefined. Two persons seek the greatest love they could. Two persons fill the hole with ties that bind. One body finds it hard for inner peace. One body can't find satisfaction well. Two bodies find a love that cannot cease. Two bodies find fulfillment not to tell. In life one person never finds the way. In life the perfect pair grow love each day. |
Vienna
It was in Vienna, springtime, a majestic sycamore in a public park. A commanding innocent, with passionate reach clutching the earth, a child with its mother. I took a photo for her. She loved trees. I loved her. She didn’t love me. |
Goodbye
a year and a moon since your betrayal your quiet departure on the evening train with clouded windows the flowers wilting the trees in despair the fields untended your betrayal which I could not purchase adieu not to be nor bon voyage nor handkerchief from shore a confused heart and a tattered soul breathing rancid air from frightened sunrise to remorseless sunset darkness finding itself in the peak of day freezing my heart and the breadth of my soul this betrayal of abandonment parts failing and lost desire |
