Sonnet II - Sonnet on Love's Circumstance.


Some eventually wishful musings:


Sonnet on the Love's Circumstance


Some lovers come to us in passion brief;
Have their pleasures way, charm and soothe the soul.
Yet come passion's death as the night grows old
They adorn their garments and swiftly leave.
It is those that stay, persist, tempt the mind
To a dream like state, their bold image, proud
It stays, stands resolutely to its ground,
Emblazoned, as a portrait, or as a shrine.

It is this I've sought, across Ocean's wide
That parted my soul to conflict and pain;
That now, with your image, can soon subside.
As melancholy came and went again
A new horizon's spied across a Sea
Of a love that shall last eternally.
