When To the Eternity

When to the eternity of love embraced in heart
		With no particular sense of hate flickering past
		The eyes that saw those whom I admired depart,
		I evoke up the sorrowful memories I forgot at last;
		I smile to many a thought of what from them I learnt –
		And with old wounds and old woes now vanished,
		I sigh the sigh of relief in that I know what they meant:
		The impediments I endured proved love finished
		From the hearts that had no hesitation to lie
		For ill-advised and wrong doings at guilty sight,
		And so their sweet lips and beauty disfigured to my eye;
		Then can I love yet with sincere love, growing day & night, –
			The lady who loves me with love unencumbered,
			Whose lips are still pure, with no lies remembered.

Gary Bateman Date: 2/8/2015 7:39:00 AM Hello Choene, A most magnificently written sonnet here!! Very well-articulated and written with intense meaning and passion. This one's a "7" from me and it's a "FAV" too!! (I've written a number of sonnets and I do know the amount of work that goes into making them just right. In fact, I have another one in the works now!!) Great Work!! Best Always, Gary Login to Reply Choene Alley Semenya Date: 2/8/2015 7:49:00 AM Hi Gary, thanks ever so much indeed, I really appreciate it.
