Robert J. Lindley, 11-21-2018
Sonnet(s)- Part One
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. To be written, in due time...
Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given, Part One
(Double sonnets- Part One)
Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given
(Double sonnets- Part One)
Cold hand of death, thy touch arrives too soon
Weakens my breath, sorrows my tragic tune
Thy blow that hits hard, thy strike will deny
More years to this bard, yet gift saddest skies
Alas! Will not thy deed, be a great waste
Thy kiss, I have no need, its bitter taste
Deep bite of thy fangs, this heart fails to awe
Bittersweet death pangs, where true love recalls
Life was oft honey-sweet, days pure and true
Pray dawn we meet, rather than I curse you
Stay thy hand one hour, tis but a small plea
Let me greet faith's power, then finish me
Now friend, your silence speaks, I shed no tears
Moment I was weak, faith now allays fears
~ Death comes with a hiss, to give its reply ~
~ Where came such bliss, that soul ceases to cry~
Fear me the more, I hold thy mortal coil
Life has no soft shore, man sprang from earth's soil
Thy spirit rebels, this fate thy wrongs bring
Death offers its hells, dare thee to now sing
Thy request I grant, gifting thee a week
If vows thee recant, and curse as you speak
Bow to my power, I death ruleth all
I gift thee more hours, walk in my dark halls
One week I return, more time thee may earn
My deadly flame burns, thy love I so spurn
Then you must submit, curse thy day of birth
I have thus seen fit, to measure thy worth
Giveth me your praise, bow to my great strength
Life is a maze, thine I can give more length.
~ Away Death has flown, human spirit asks ~
~ Have I been shown, glimpse behind death's black-mask ~
