Dear Lady, thy beauty has lit a flame
Where flame had perished long ago; where cold
Had reigned, now searing heat has laid a claim
And passion born anew has taken hold.
I had walked, heart entombed in icy grasp
Yet unaware this frost within was death --
Until thy touch released its frigid clasp
And on my face I felt thy warming breath.
Yet these such deeds were not intention born --
For thou knowst not the fire kindled there
Nor the passion stirred; and I, within torn,
To thee do yield and lay my passion bare:
Into thy hands I cede my enthralled heart --
Be my Queen -- else thrust deep the frosted dart!

Thou dost speaketh the language of this fair damsel's heart.

Each mot stirs mine coeur to fluttering.

Guard mine Castle well, Sir Knight ~ and thou shalt be justly rewarded.

Another fine love sonnet, CG!!!

“Beauty has lit a flame…where cold hath reigned…”

Ah, I so love a fine sonnet, and much admire
those so truly brave of heart and spirit as to
pen one!

applause!!

CG, this was nice, akin almost to The Lady of Shallot, be aware though, you may need to raise your draw bridge sharpish as the Lady Linda may have you joustly rewarded...
