Fifth Sonnet

Fifth Sonnet

To please your jealous friend, I bear this pain,
sent off to face a cold and bitter sea
where once upon a poem your love did feign
eternity, walked here to there did we.
Your ship has come to be a rescue dream
that once I found myself at ends without.
The world appeared to plot an evil scheme
that shook the demons in your heart to doubt.
Forgive me if I stow away tonight
where only from a porthole can I view
a moon that shines its light as guide to write
and gulls that paint your memory on blue.
Though to your grief this pain does not attend,
the love I pledged to keep will never end.

Forth Sonnet

Forth Sonnet

My bird! My bird! has come to grace the sky
along with sweet, sweet sun that warms my face,
a gift that knows the child inside my eyes
behind the years that time cannot replace.
O’ falcon come to know my hearts true call
when spirits rise to meet your golden wings,
cease not in faith to keep my dreams enthrall
ascent to heavens harp our hearts will sing.
By chance I find you be a red tailed hawk
nostalgia lost to nature’s choice of nest,
your beauty be no less of that I talk
a pride upon which wings a true sigh rest.
Our spirit to your flight my heart befriends
and grace upon my eyes does make amends.

Third Sonnet

Third Sonnet

No words will ever steal away your love,
a statue carved in forests of my dreams,
with fountain feeding tender deer and dove,
dipping soft their silken tongue into the stream.
The doves no not a word to make them flee,
or fear an enemy can penetrate
the gate that only God could build for me
that shines ahead where I forever wait.
But, if somehow someone should steal the key,
and force a game on my green forest floor,
you know I won’t participate or be
standing in the way of that you want more.
I’ll climb a sturdy tree with view above
applauding for my true forever love.

Second Sonnet

Second Sonnet

I found you throwing fire upon the sky
to forge a storm and cast a bolt of flame.
Your feat of folly begs to light an eye
let heat of burning bolt lay ash to shame.
Fear not I burn before a dream has sung.
Forever to your fiery heart I sigh
and taste immortal lava on my tongue
that flows a river through to valley high.
I glide Alpha safe from dangerous foe
to journey under stars of ethereal dew.
In dreams music of Kubla Khan does show
the route to sacred sea of Xanadu.
Blazing sunrise skies ignite the sea,
where on your ship we sail eternally.

Give my love armor, protection of will
that greed and hate can never penetrate,
and I a soft place in his heart might fill
until my dieing light fall, a promise wait.
I shall forever dream he be my king,
alone in highest castle window view
landscape rich, where birds of liberation sing
from branches strong, leaved in vibrant hue.
His journeys fair, a starlight beckon shine,
a wind his spirit guide cross fields of time
precarious nature and poet intertwine
to challenge storms impervious in rhyme.
Give my love a compass to guide him home
where on his lips waits kiss of honeycomb.
