If you love me, pray let me hear your joy For brief years or on me pour your tears Yea, I have seen such things as fate destroys And know how to extend these few good years For all life’s drawn out upon a slender thread And we must be aware how tenuous and fine Stay with me, find its strength and you’ll not dread We’ll last, I’ll help you feel, your love made mine Love me at least this day you are my dearest Stay by my side as we trod toward the sun Else see me withered tree felled in the forest Dying to a crumble with my light gone So cling to me, share all your joy and grief For this is love’s heart; it is my belief Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

For all life’s drawn out upon a slender thread And we must be aware how tenuous and fine Stay with me, find its strength and you’ll not dread We’ll last, I’ll help you feel, your love made mine ======================= very cool poet sir... love the vocabulary and verbiage in this cadence kissed piece well done me sonnet sir  If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

This is very nice, Bill. Who among us does not want to be told if we are loved? To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

"So cling to me, share all your joy and grief For this is love’s heart; it is my belief" ============================================= That ending really concluded a well-thought out Sonnet. Im amazed at your work. Please post more of these touching pieces. -Jeremy Raulinaitis "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. -William Faulkner (Noble Prize Speech.) |
