Thou Shalt Always Be My Love

               
In this coursing, crimson river 
of my blood, you float. 
There is no end to this, our eternal
amorousness.
Nay, not even human death can 
remove us from Eros's moat.
Nor our touching hands' total
peacefulness.
So let's on, to the minutes as
they, like arrows, swiftly pass. 
Your mistress awaits you in cobalt, 
lace blue, summer gown!
Upon the kiss of morning dew on 
this orb's verdant grass!
Let us do partake of vintage wines,
glorious breads and cheese till
God's sundown.
Let us dream of the children we
will create!
And weep tears of joy and blessed 
happiness.
We revel in each second, so
divinely, and magically intimate.
To share with all humanity our 
immutable, loves' holiness!

David, my friend, sorry did not reply sooner. Yes. Love is all there is. Of God, life, and fellow humans. Was so horribly hot here today, i slept most of the day, was up till 2am wrestling with this Sonnet. I am such a lover of the Bard! But am not the Bard Panagiota

There is no inoculation for the love bug. Once in your blood you become it’s slave. I enjoyed your poem.

Oh, how totally true about enslavement. And a blessed enslavement it is. Glad you enjoyed, Richard! Panagiota

Your verses sing to this old poet's romantic heart! This is poetry with romantic depth, immense beauty and a sincere message of love, fidelity and true honor! Much in the classic style of the golden poets of old... A beauty, a shining gem and a truly pleasurable read.. A fav...

Greetings Georgia! Love your comment. I can write sonnets but rarely can pen a haiku or any ku! Love Skakespeare 's sonnets most. Panagiota -)) thank you,
