A Shakespearean Sonnet

Before you, beauty couldn’t be defined
Your eyes glisten like the sun on the sea
To say I love you, I’m more than inclined
Yes, I really hope you will stay with me

Your face shines brighter than the mid-day sun
Not even to an angel, you compare
From more than six-billion, you’re the one
The love I have for you, I dare not share

You are my Lanore, with me here and now
You are clumsy, yet graceful, like a dove
Nothing bad to you, I should now allow
You are the one I must say I do love

For you are worth the most beautiful rhyme
When I’m with you, wasted not is my time

A Rose Short-Lived

In the early days of March, at the very start of spring
I saw people plant roses, and praise the love they would bring
Well, at that point I had been saving a special sort of seed
And that spring I would plant it, even though there where warnings, I did not heed
And now loves rose is dead, and with it, burnt, is loves creed

Woe! That seed I had saved, held close and took care of from a very early age
That seed I had obtained from an accidental meeting, on the swings, at a very early age
Now I fear that this seed is ruined, and I fear I’ve lost a friend
It’s a fear that digs deep into my cold, melancholy core, I can’t pretend
For it was a beautiful friendship, that I never intended to end

Yes, I had planted this seed in the early days of March, the month of my birth
And though at first the rose was shy, it slowly stemmed out of the earth
 But it was soon growing faster, faster even than the fabled roses of lore
It grew with such a haste that one might have thought that it wouldn’t grow anymore
Yes, this rose, that might have frown too fast, had put love in my core

Now, on the last day of March, the very date on which, many years ago, I was born
This rose gave me a gift as it hid from me every thorn
And this rose, it seemed, had given me the will to succeed 
In my life, I had finally had the confidence to take the lead
I loved, more than anything, the rose that sprouted out of this seed 

And the month that followed, I can’t lie, was bliss
And it’s time I will, forever more, miss
For the month following, I regret to say, my rose died
Indeed, it was the only time that, for a flower, I had ever cried
It left me weeping, with no ego left to gloat, with no self pride

Yes, early in May is where you may date my death
Call me death, for without that rose, I’m not living, though I still draw breath
Lay me on my death bed, and let my quietly pass on, away
For any place without that rose is no place I want to stay
So please, lay me on my death bed, and leave! Let me lay

Woe, that rose died, and I can only guess why
Perhaps I watered it too much, and forced it to be too un-shy
Perhaps I was too ignorant to say the words it needed to hear
Yes, perhaps, perhaps, that all I can say
And I will say it all the while 
While I walk away
Farewell 
Goodbye
Good
Bye

To M----

My true life value once laid with you
And the absence of you’re absence
Gave me happiness true
But the love you felt for me
Must have been fleeting
For you left me alone
Leaving my heart barely beating
Now you’re absence, like a devil
Is to my soul, slowly eating

And if life must end, may it with haste
For without you, life could hardly be called so
And without you, my heart beat is a true life-waist
So come me to my death-bed
The last place I will rest
For loneliness is something
I will forever detest
So please let me lay
Never again to see the suns crest

And rain seems fitting weather
For this time without you
Is the worst time I’ve ever had to weather
Yes, the clouds are a fitting metaphor
For the feeling I feel
And it feels the organ above my left lung
Has been dealt its last deal
And melancholy sets in, a feeling that is
Cold, hard, like frozen steel

And to give a consummation to my ever-blackening thinking
To give a conclusion to my dismal thoughts
As long as you’re gone, my heart will continue sinking
You’re absence is the gravity that keeps
The ship of my heart at the bottom of the sea
Yes, though you say it was no fault of mine
My ship still rests at the bottom of the sea
And though many people have tried, I know it’s only you
That can rescue my ship and me from the bottom of this sea

A Poem

When I see your beautiful face, my problems just seem to go
You shine like a single star above me
With you, my friend, wasted time is no longer wasted at all
Only with the presence of you, can I truly say I’m free
Without you, I would do nothing but fall
And you name, forever more, I would call

Through many years of knowing you, on me you continue to grow
Like the sun, I am used to you bright shine
Your perfection is unrivaled by anyone else on earth
Nothing would be sweeter than for you to say you will stay mine
We where destined for each other from birth
Trust me, for few, would I walk such a line

With the grace of the most beautiful torrent is how you flow
Most of my life I’ve seen you walk about 
However now I get to be with you, hand in hand we walk
To go without you now would cause nothing but loveless drought
How it makes me happy to, with you, talk
If you left me now, I would die, in shock

If you left me all alone, then fly away would many crow
Yet, loves fire will forever burn on
And because of this, I will love you for as long as I live
That is a promise, miss, and my promises I keep, you’ll learn
I love you, girl, that’s the most I can give you
When next to you, my stomach will just churn
I LOVE YOU MISS!
This you must learn!

Another Poem

An angel I've called you many times before
You're perfect, sublime, everything that's good
And you know I would marry you now, if I could
Because you are everything I adore
I love you, from my outer shell, to my inner core

Well you're eyes are deep and warm
They glisten, glitter, like new-blow glass
And your beauty could be compared to a field of dew-laden grass
For you, I would walk one-million miles in the worst storm
If we could never be apart, I would never have to mourn

And without you, I doubt life would go on
And with you, life would flourish
Because your skins simple glow, to the flowers it would nourish
And anyone who doesn't love you should be considered a con
For nothing, I mean nothing, with you is wrong
