when floods of emotion o’erflow my wearied heart,
when cold-steel strength gives way to sentient dreams
and tears of public solitude course down the streams
of cascaded aqueducts fixed like facades that start

the windowed glaze of soul’s decided daze to grow
into rivulets of sentiment strained through eyes of fear
that keeps the tortured silent soul in check so near
and bids the joy of cleansing rain to freely flow

that feeds the pangs of aspiration to fully express
the spirit’s need for physical release in waves of desire
surfing like sea stones in rhythmic oceanic attire
and waking the psyche to realms of calm redress

I flee to the core of heart-fenced gardens of fascination free
And feel the warmth that comes from within the very me of me.

And this is why I love sonnets; there's just something about them that brings out the eloquence of the writer. This write was enjoyed very much. I don't know why I'm the only one to comment on this so far.

And what a beautiful garden it is, Steaver.

I love these images:
"the windowed glaze of soul’s decided daze to grow
into rivulets of sentiment strained through eyes of fear
that keeps the tortured silent soul in check so near
and bids the joy of cleansing rain to freely flow"
I love the whole poem, over and over. And saving it in my library.  ~K~
