Sonnet 1

Lost to a stream void of stars,I in emptiness
 Behold myself as a relic cast beneath earth.
 The fool's tradition is to unearth,
 The warden has lost keep to love's pest
 Let the morn star stay vigil for time past.
 The fields are rosary black, they shall sing no more
 Are they struck by Hades and I cupid?
 Such as speak like men who never loved.
 Indeed devils are they who shroud love in laws
 Is love one's folly for that a man.
 From the heavens my judgment comes
 On an iron throne she looks at they in disdain
 Love is guiltless so let them free she spoke
 To depths with thy laws, not today for I'm no captive.
