Rob Levasseur Poet Sonnet

How and Why

Should doubt high drift over my love for thee
     grey gloomy cloud, disconsolate, strong reign
bleak darkened frown, portend deep misery
     hide hearts resolve, beneath shadowed disdain.
Should you feel sudden cold breath of gloom,
     spate of fear, black scourge upon painted leaf
quick cruelly fade love grim in abject gloom,
     swift eclipse hopes hue behind shaded grief.
And would unshakable faith far be blown,
     fiercely shook from loose grasp once so near
wither sweet loves blossom, thus loss bemoan
     newly dead splendor, once honored then hear:
Eternally damned shall I rove and cry,
tormented ever to seek how and why.
