James Inman Poet Sonnet

Can I Love Thee More

Can I love thee more?  If love be less than 
fate in life's reprieve, then no, I could not 
love thee more, alas, with Cupid's dart shot.
Yes, I love in thee thy comely face and
yet, my love's defined as only time can,
grown in age as bold new found love cannot.
Yes, I love thee more with each cherished thought.
Yes, I love thee more in God's precise plan.
Yes, I love thee more in lover's embrace.
When in life the turbid winds divide us,
I will love thee more in rapturous grace. 
I will keep this love safe in my aegis,
and at end of day let death take my place,
then with sweet voice sing a dirge for Eros.

Andrea Dietrich February 23, 2016 at 5:42 PM Did it not win, my friend? I see no congrats. I did not win either. It is one for you to enter in a screwed contest. James Inman February 23, 2016 at 8:28 PM Really hadn't paid any attention to it. I'll have to look up the contest.
