Robert J. Lindley, 12-02-2018
Sonnet(s)- Part Two
Note: Tale of Life, Fate And Death , written in four sonnets
Part Two, Double sonnets- Will faith hold power or temptation of having longer life rule.
Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given Double Sonnets, Part Two
(Double sonnets- Part Two)
Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given
Double sonnets, Part Two
Death thy bladed hand, I gladly let pierce
That my end be grand, and my faith be fierce
Hollow words you spoke, what good few days more
For tho' life is brief, beyond lies joy's shore.
Thy guile cunning dark, thy cleverness deep
In life made my mark, thy price far too steep
My faith my haven, thy path a dark room
Raven was feared, that was Poe's great doom.
I bid you welcome, Fate has wrote that hour
Fear not sad outcome, death holds no power
Please set thy fangs deep, man's end but a sleep
Faith's vows I will keep, dying- no tears weep.
~ May blessings gift leaving in sweetest dreams. ~
~ Gone the vagaries and sad human schemes. ~
Death may be - black darkness, seas a-churnin'
Amidst soil rot and high flames a-burnin'
Or other realms, welcoming our returning
Or fantasy of more, our deep yearning.
Shall my loss, grieve greatly those I cherish
As this mortal coil is doomed to perish
I pray, this Fate, that of human demise
Is but change to our soul thereby revise.
A slow sink in seas of imagination
A sad parting from our close relations
Or perhaps, just a step into the Light
Needed sleep away from dread, dark of night.
~ May blessings gift leaving in sweetest dreams. ~
~ Gone the vagaries and sad human schemes. ~

Sonnet(s)- Part Two
Note: Tale of Life, Fate And Death , written in four sonnets
Part Two, Double sonnets- Will faith hold power or temptation of having longer life rule. Continued from Part One, previously presented here(double sonnets).
A total of four connecting sonnets..
Second Note- I have decided to not change my usual way of presenting my poetry. I will continue as I have from the start adding notes and dates and presenting as I think best. Sharing more information to the readers, seems to me to be a net positive and in no way a negative.
That so many great poets here expressed that wisdom, in my blog convinced me .
And reveals how many great and truly dedicated poets/artists we have at this fine poetry site.
