Andrew Loud Poet Sonnet

A Sonnet For Jayne

A Sonnet for Jayne

O,'Tis such a rare and beauteous thing 
Amidst the turmoil,who can explain 
That which inspires a man's soul to sing, 
Or to reflect its light in loud refrain. 
Were the stars so sullen before we met? 
Did both the moon and sun forswear to shine? 
For I could roam the whole of earth, and yet 
What beauty gazed upon compares to thine? 
With but the lightest touch my heart combusts, 
A whisper bids all other thoughts depart, 
Ensnared within love's stormy throes and gusts,
With passion found, does life then truly start?
I pray thee say it's me whom you adore 
Or let me go so I may die once more.
