Love is a painting - drawn with passioned art
Upon the palette of the heart; each stroke
With splash of rainbow hues will love impart
And so enfold beneath its magic cloak.
But Time with ruthless, phantom hand does wield
Its dulling instrument! The hues once bright
Thus fade, and vibrant blooms on summer field
Do pale to monochrome in winter night.
Yet the Painting, though it sheds its former sheen,
Still steadfast on the wall of Time remains,
And all the hearts its glory once have seen
Have bound its image with eternal chains:
Time, employ in vain your craft - if you must --
But Love once lived shall never turn to dust.

CastleGuard,

This is a fairly well done English sonnet. I'd try and do something with line five.

But Love once lived shall never turn to dust.

How very beautiful and how true, I believe that too.

... love's echoes at least will never fade.
