Fair Memory

I see you fair in memory’s sweet abode ‘tis truly there with you I long to be To touch again ‘fore daydream walls erode Thy lips of red, o passion, mine to thee In passion do I feel the tempest rise Rise to meet the moonlight’s sweet caress To see myself in love there in your eyes And in thy garden dare to find me rest O damn the world that holds this body bound N’er content, my spirit yearns to search the wind ‘tis there in sweet repose my love is found And there I long to be with you again For in fair memory’s eye no care there be And to thy heart, mine own, I’d give to thee Christopher Thor Britt (Motif: Romantic)

Ms. Carrie Richards. Thank you for appreciating my sonnet. For some reason, to me, sonnets read best in the classic language of the great bard, more so than with contemporary language. Maybe it's just me.

this is so wonderful. Is it the Juliet poem you told me of? I can't seem to find one entitled Juliet on your poetry page. Sure would love to see it!
