Italian Sonnet Poems

Like-minded and loved
It than is easy to
Except your proposal
Might those we love than
Find it appeasing and perfect
Might togetherness keep us
And might love
Make those tentions
Resolved
Beyond the nights might
Mornings began days
Of harmonic and joyfilled
Doings
What disturtions of those days
Naysayers who wish is apart

If the King is in debt again,
We must open the privy purse,
A profligate king is a curse,
It has been thus throughout his reign.

It puts us all under a strain,
And God knows, it is getting worse,
Why must the man be so...Read More

They met by the old jarrah tree
As the sun was about to set,
A meeting they would not forget,
A future they could not foresee.

"Dearest, you must listen to me!
I swear to you that I regret
Having incurred this dreadful debt -
All I...Read More

A Viennese waltz, seamless and sublime...
We move as one, adrift on heaven's floor;
and, though my knees go weak, sky-high I soar!
Each measured stride defies a need for time.
Within its reign, we actualize our climb -
impassioned flames, no longer keeping score,...Read More

Rome Greece and China love a quatrain.
Four stanzas is how it has to be.
Stingy poets only give us three.
This one is Italian from my brain.

An eerie silence wrapped the bog,
I dared not move nor speak.
The chilling blanket of the fog
where evil beings creep,
conceals within tormented souls 
now stirring from their sleep,
and there with gruesome fate foretold
lie secrets they will keep.
Into the darkest night they...Read More

I wonder at what lesson had been taught 
abandoning the gift I longed for most...
In every dream conceived, you held me close. 
And now each tear I cry seems all for naught; 
mere remnants, never noticed, shared, nor caught,
nor tasted,...Read More

On this gay morn, the first day of autumn,
I reflect.—Thanks be to God! For how strange
that I've, like a pilgrim, traveled life's range, 
and have survived its dark snares, unlike some:
thus, I am grateful that I have overcome! 
At this...Read More

Addicted to romance, I’ve tried in vain
to resurrect the unrestrained delight
I felt so long ago one summer night -
excitement of the type no one can feign.
I had it once, and I could not abstain
from tasting it. It made my soul...Read More

I think it is okay not to be the brightest bulb in the tool shed.
And I know I would only use that phrase in self assessment.
But I am talking about motivation. The motivation to learn and to take up the...Read More

I love you but I don’t know why.
I love your lips which seem too thin
for a kind person, your grey-green
deceitful eyes which are too dry
and too unmerciful to cry
for broken hearts. I love your skin
which chilly whiteness is akin
to fallen...Read More

Me mother used to make a mince-meat tart,
Old country way, with loads of shredded meat!
Can’t say, I liked it, till the second bite!
And then, the taste caught you… there was an art
To making tarts that waited to surprise
They took three...Read More

In my bedroom the three of us all high:
her, her, and I: pass methamphetamine
in circle, her to her to I, our lean
mannequin forms pressed hand to leg to thigh,
one on my left, one with a school yard eye.
We three are,...Read More

If you turn out to be right, at the end,
and no one ever knows I held a pen
or wrote anything virtuous other than
my Christian name in scribble/cursive blend
on legal forms, thus failing to defend
my structure’s ink, then yes, it means...Read More

My only thought on love resembles this:
From such a distance I was nearly there,
I watched a couple strip each other bare.
They did a shot and shared a slobbered kiss,
and it was smooth and it went down like bliss.
He was the...Read More

The way this day carries on, one might think
it invalid, paralyzed from neck down,
wheelchair bound, unable to roll around
or speak more than “yes” or “no” via blink.
Or, maybe it wishes for not to sink,
but to shadow itself to a moonless...Read More

I’ve got no beef with McDonald’s or Jack
‘n the Box weighing down American towns
with greasy sacks in thin hospital gowns.
They’re just a couple of clowns selling crack
to cavalier carnies who’d like fries with that
six thousand calorie corpulent noun
with a large...Read More

She’s the self-diagnosed bi-polar type.
Google, M.D., full accreditation.
Reliant on prescribed medication
her cousin fills she sells to fill her pipe
with methamphetamine, crystallized, ripe
for thrills derived from sleep deprivation.
She shares all this with no provocation,
disrobed in my bedroom, the prototype
poster girl for...Read More

UPON ANCIENT SKIES

It was love at first sight,
With smile that wins her eyes,
Like a diamond, hanging in a crystal night.

With love so sudden and so sweet, delight,
Her heart, like spring upon the ancient skies,
It was love at first sight.

Her face,...Read More

One light, one day reflect into the glistening pool
As the trickle of sunbeams bloom from the sky
Mother Earth gives her smile from her watchful eye
And there is a light of hope burning jewel
Doth, her eyes begin to befool 
Landscapes full...Read More

The red-throat trawled me to a shanghaied shore
then left me raw in split-sedated state.
A sense of morning meant the lamp lit late
and when I dream I taste a little gore,
but it was peaceful there, upon that shore.
And how I prayed...Read More

For God and country, swaying toe to line.
Like whispers lost upon a mighty wind.
A cadence echoes; “soldiers ‘til the end.”
Why bestow our youth upon the frontline?

Tides that rise; too must fall to sculp their shores.
The price of Freedom is too...Read More

Our wedding would bring triumph to our mothers.
Rejoice, in black and white, in unity!
I wish we wouldn't quarrel, you and me.
In all simplicity, I love another.

I will myself to love your gleaming face.
It's caked with blush; why should I even...Read More

HIS SHAMES
THAT HE STANDS BEFORE
THESE MEN
WHO REPRESENT CAESAR
THE TRAITOR, THE HEROTIC, A SATAN
WHO SPEAK OF HIMSELF AS THE SON
OF GOD.
THAN CAESAR DENIES SUCH, THAT HE IS GOD
AND THIS MAN IS A CHARLETON WHO
MUST BE CRUCIFIED.
THEY CALL HIM THE " KING...Read More
