Shakespearean Poems

Shakespearean love

Eyes upon another for I did not know your name 
Though what purest love rest still within me 
Dorminant, triggered in the looks of thy eye 
Sparks like matter, irrodescent in thy sight 
The magic mustered to my very plight 
For I did not know your name
Yet ye inthrawled me
Took me up to heavens starling

untitled-5

In these sacred halls where prayers weave through the air,
As we kneeled before him, our sins confessed,
Seeking mercy and grace, for the burdens we bear,
The faithful souls kneel devoutly with their hearts pressed.
As the candles glow, the penitent confesses,
Their sins laid bare, weighed by the savior's care,
As the divine sanctuary aligns,
The halls where prayers intertwine.
As

Intrusions of Nature

INTRUSIONS OF NATURE

In a cascade of light, like wax that melts,
It strayed, mischievous and free of bounds,
Across her smiling lips, mine eyes did dwell,
Then solace found upon her bosom's mounds.

I pressed kisses on her ankles fair,
And in response, her laughter did abound,
Melodious, sweet, with notes that filled the air,
Like cut glass sparkling, a joyous sound.

Her

Terranullius

We did steal their home, I doubt that ‘twas right
How doth Thou not see these sorrowful souls
Darkness hath killed this land, therefore their light
Terranullius? Thine sense burnt in coals

Thy help is hurting, how art thou so blind?
Alas! Hope of return, ever fleeting
Sympathetic words, but what of the mind?
We did not learn so we are repeating

Premium MemberOphelia: the Evergreen Heroine of Shakespearean Tragedy

The quintessential of nyctophilia, wrapped in bridal attire, slowly and slowly as in somnambulism there goes the heroine of timeless tragedy to supersede her lovers feigned insanity.

Her beloved father is no more, being killed by her suitor's intrigued tyranny;
ignored to be drowned, to burn in the flame of plotted felony.

Jilted, to be startled by the

Premium MemberSonnet 5, Awaken To a Reddish Haze, Shakespearean Form

Nocturne shadow, rise with the Flamingo
charmed by the sunrise a morning sky smiles.
hushed morning song whispers at my window.
Prone on the pillow; love the outer isles.

Daydreams wander; my fan begins the day
sands twinkle like brilliant diamonds sparkling
Winds blow the deep blue waters on the bay.
Tea's steeping as the teapot is whistling.

Old cat yawns awake in

Naive Seventeen

When you sung songs of naïve seventeen
No chord was struck, nor one thought rewritten 
For love so young, surely, it was extreme
And left small hearts yet deceived and broken
For hope of love shrouded in the naïve—
No thought, I had, of such hope striking me
Yet now, I feel, if I dare to believe
That hope like such

It'Ll Bring ::The English Sonnet Or the Shakespearean Sonnet Or the Elizabethan Sonnet

  
Simple question was asked but they fumble;
What are you going to do with your life?
Most of them babble, to speak they struggle;
Appears they don't know how to handle strife.

Don't have idea for their future day
lost their direction that shows confusion.
Answer to question is simple if they
apply their minds, there can't be illusion.

It's to

Sonnet of the Great Gerudo Chief

Behold the king called Ganondorf, who reigns

Supreme, destroying people’s sorry lives.

Behold his sword, who’s damage is insane

Who’s blade is sharper than a hundred knives.

A hero sworn to have revenge on those

Who wronged us in the past with great disgrace.

To any people that would dare oppose,

Shall blow away like dust without a trace.

His wrath is like

Premium MemberGreat Shakespearean Stage

It has been said
by Shakespearean wit
All the world's a stage.

And so it is, I actively and fluidly suppose,
One Great Transitioning Stage
of diverse seasons
and eons of becoming cooperatively larger
and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too small,
with fewer and fewer nonspeaking parts
in which to hide
Greek and Green and Black and Brown
and Disabled and Imprisoned and Raped

Halloween Sonnet

It's Halloween, that spooky time of year,
when scary monsters prowl the streets at night,
those freaky ghouls make me shiver with fear,
in costumes that give me a dreadful fright! 
 
Pumpkin lanterns cast a dire, eerie glow
as eager children arrive at my door;
Candy offerings on them, I bestow,
while their excited eyes say, 'Give me more!'

PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

   Mental strength holds life, never goes useless.
    One truth is more powerful than ten lies.
     Failure is always pillar of success.
      One religion: Humanity flies.

Premium MemberThe Starling of Spring With Shakespearean Subplot

Plucked from Shakespeare 
and plopped in Central Park,
Sturnus vulgaris, the mimic,
conquered New York.

It made it there,
You know it made it everywhere;

The continental stage stolen.

And here on my fence amid this tragedy
To be   blessed with a modicum of bliss;

The sparkling spring songster
with his treasured chest pumping
my missing birds   song list.
