Sonnet Iii

I will unfold for light's embrace one final time,
Allowing you to unlock this tender core;
Let not blind eyes fall upon this mighty rhyme;
The miserable sea reminisces upon days of yore;
Thou art dear, kisses in the brilliant sunlight;
Let not fancy again raise its dagger to me;
Sensual, erotic as passion's sweat in the deep night;
Only the most intense love inspires freedom;
Will I view myself, and curse destiny-
Leaving me with a grieved heart?
If thou art not solemn, let me despise entry;
If emotion be false, rid thee disguise ~ I will depart;
     Whisper summer's seductive secrets,
     For thee imperfections are perfect.
