" Fairest Love " (Shakespearean Sonnet)

Thou has the fairest of features my love. My conscious of thy beauty shall not die, It surrounds me thus, as immortal glove. Your piercing beauty of blue eyes, as sky. Thy warm body I shall ever cherish, To whom my soul doeth forever belong. Thus my desire for thee shall find flourish, As the night birds in the night’s fairest song. Thy lips my beauty drops as honeycomb, It’s honey sweetness from under thy tongue. From the pleasures of thy love I shan’t roam, I am come to thy garden to raise young. Thou ravished forever my heart my spouse, From thy love’s presence I shan’t ever rouse. Shakespearean Sonnet In Honor of : Dr: Ram Placed #8
