Sonnet Doubles:

First sonnet

Let Truth Burn Away Your Deceptive Cloak

Let truth burn away your deceptive cloak
lower vanity's shield, go have a smoke,
even if, a diamond, in love's gold crown
life shows greater rise, after falling down!

In vanity's false, self-proclaimed state
live many victims of their own dark hate,

Rhyming Doubles On My Muse's Stern Command

He who Lives, to green woods explore
and bathe in glowing moonlit streams
shall find his Love, begging for more
than pale ghosts in late midnight dreams!

She who his hot passion bestirs
in its fires, warms her eager heart
asks not for gold, diamonds...

What is left when I am buried and dust
ancient grave upon which a white-stone rests
vanished shades of a future we did trust

Twenty bucks and...

Prayers Uttered And Hours Missing You,
Ancient Doubles

Sing, sing of the sadness and lonely hour
Of cold rain and its shivering shower
Empty bed and those nights forever lost
Dawn's aches, sprinkles of glittering frost.

Prayers uttered and hours missing you.
Your soft laugh, your bright smile, all that you...

What Of Humanity, Life And Happiness Lost

Dark spirit, sad heart battling against mortal mind
sad breath of warfare and its slashing bloody blades
aftermath, in death's red-gore, truth hard to find
and those so slain, sad march in Hades' ghost parades!

What...

See beauty! hosts and guests double beauty.
They double beauty with their gorgeous hue;
How so serene, so tranquil this scene to see,
Green when doubly mixed with white and blue.

Deep Within Woes Of Love's First Dying Breath

Lost, I am not there, you can not reach me
woe, dark and naked- all life is not fair
tho' heavy blows hurt, they do not teach me
nor my rebellion prove I do not care.
What cost, does battling iron hard...
