Three Sonnets from a Welsh Lush to a Finnish Princess

I

We could lie in the dark in the lunar winters
Under blankets of lust we would not freeze
The sun hits the surface with light splinters
It's love cures all of humanity's disease
It's love could cure us both of what we ail
I'd be yours and you would be mine to please
Just push off the dock and I'll set the sail
We can drift endless hours and days
In the lunar oceans time stands so still
Shining stars reflect the love in our eyes
Be it true love or just a simple thrill
And it should be easy to recognize
   So what say you? Shall we fly to the moon?
   Just as soon as you want dear, just as soon.

II

I saw the first few sparkles of desire
You set them smouldering in my dry field
They're still there waiting to start our worlds on fire
And if the will may soon be revealed
My heart has been broken thinking of then
And now my heart has more or less been healed
I must be careful it won't break again
I trust you are a very gentle girl
If you don't like the heat don't fan the flame
I for one am tired of being cold
Enjoy the warmth, sweet girl, there is no shame
I truly hope I'm not being too bold
   So if you are afraid of my desires
   Only you can prevent forest fires

III

How gracious I am fate has sent you my way
I must take off on these sappy rhymed flights
But what, if anything, can a girl say?
When a poet has her set in his sights
On your sweetness I'm casting my eye
Hoping to cast away these lonely nights
Perhaps it won't happen, at least I'll try
Try as I might love makes no guarantees
And in that right should never assure
I know the truth: confidence killed the cat
And if a love should grow strong and pure
Many thoughts must be spent and shared on that
   Three sonnets, each one sweeter than the last
   What words and emotions are here amassed

Well done Jam....I can't write 'them'
sonnet thinggies....see:

In trying to compose a sonnet
As done by the finest of poets,
I have to ponder upon it
Quite a bit even though it's
Simple to write one I've heard
Fourteen lines in all
The first line rhymes with the third
The second and fourth should fall
In rhyme in such a way
That a-b-ab, etc
So on and so forth say
Whatever the thought is to be
But it never turns out like I want it
So what the hell-Pissonnet!
