Jerome's Love Sonnet #L


every morn the golden sun doth rise
and waken my soul to life again
it traverseth not along the skies
nor seeketh the praise of common men
but rather riseth in thine auburn eyes
where burn the fires of thy noble love
and swell the flood-waters of my sighs
which no other man hath witness of
some claim to have sailed the seven seas
and other men still, with kings hath dined
yet i undertake much nobler deeds
when i, in love, hath lived and died
  it is to that sun in auburn eyes
  that i shall live and peacefully die

this is one of the greatest lines ive ever read
This i great man

some claim to have sailed the seven seas
and other men still, with kings hath dined
yet i undertake much nobler deeds
when i, in love, hath lived and died

*blushes and gives a slight bow of respect* thank you for your kind words... this is one of my few "love poems"... i suppose i have a hard time expressing my feelings of affection because they run so deeply... i appreciate your praise, but realize that i still have a long way to go before i can even begin to explore the depths of my true feelings... and yes, this poem was written for someone special to me...

sincerely,
**jerome the boy with no brain

Hey Jerome! I don't know you very well, but your poem is very good. I'm sure you have a brain. You must have a brain if you write sweet poems. I'm not sure some of my classmates have brains though.

This poems is very sweetly written.  It also makes you think and try to comprehend everything and in the end shows the deep appreciation and love that you have for this person!  Very nice work!  Keep it up- brainy one!
