When I'm with you the time slips by with ease
This pleasant interlude is most complete
It's break from life's thoughts, dear, without replete
of never ending cares without surcease
Can I not be prince speaking lines that please
and place at feet rich treasure seldom seen
And you'll have ending, my full queen,
of never ending cares without surcease
This promise I do make on bending knees
celestial hosts in heaven know it's true
With me love, you'll have no sorrowing view
of never ending cares without surcease
When I'm with you the time slips by with ease
less never ending cares without surcease
Echo Sonnet
-echo-
Like a wolf to the moon, my words will reach far and echo,
But if they will ever reach you, even the future has no answer,
I will simply have to hope that my voice will reach further.
For now, these hopes that I have of you hearing, I’ll let go.
All this pain that I suffer, it seems that you’ll never know.
Time is said to make all the worry disappear in thin air,
And eventually my heart would heal, so I shouldn’t care.
For now, these hopes that I have of you hearing, I’ll let go.
Time is a river and my voice will not go against the flow.
Looking up, I shout to whatever is up there, the sun, a star,
The stratosphere, even to the Earth, hoping to reach far.
For now, these hopes that I have of you hearing, I’ll let go,
Like a wolf to the moon, my words will reach far and echo,
But now, I’ll give up hope of you hearing and let go.
It’s so awesome the way you make me feel.
We promise to love in sickness and health
though we fall short in abundance of wealth;
my ardent heart skips a beat for you still.
I bat my brown eyes; you love my high heels.
I am the prettiest girl of your dreams.
I capture your love all at once it seems,
my ardent heart skips a beat for you still.
Our love is true, genuine and so real.
There is no one else for you other than me.
Remember our hearts carved on that old tree?
My ardent heart skips a beat for you still.
It’s so awesome the way you make me feel;
my ardent heart skips a beat for you still.
SONNET FORM #4 Echo Sonnet
Lets Heal Our Hearts With Love Anew
(Echo Sonnet, number 4)
Darling, please heal again this broken heart,
once our hands sought each other's soft touch;
when our nights found no dancing was too much.
Always you and I from that kissing start.
Can we find sweet true love and never part?
Fly upon white snow covered mountain tops;
move heaven and earth, pray it never stops!
Always you and I from that kissing start.
Next consult our love's astrology chart?
Discover new moans in our night's hot bed;
As we forget those love hurts in our heads.
Always you and I from that kissing start.
Darling, please heal again this broken heart
Always you and I from that kissing start.

(Echo Sonnet)
Come waltz around the diner's hall with me
where scents of ginger pie can spice your lust
when you behold my sister's flaky crust
and slather pie with ample hunks of brie.
A dinner fraught with traps we can't foresee;
the pie you crave turns bitter as you chew,
its texture coats your tongue until you spew
and slather pie with ample hunks of brie.
The hostess, quick with cups of ginger tea
will pound your back and push you out the door
while I pretend you're one we must ignore
and slather pie with ample hunks of brie.
Come waltz around the diner's hall with me
and slather pie with ample hunks of brie.
