Would That Words Could

Would that words could suffice to comfort thee
Thou would have an array of loving praise
Set thenceforth before other eyes to see
Proclaimed upon gilded horns thereby raised
If only words could take the place of arms
To be thy strength, echo of heart's resound
To offer safe harbor from constant harm
And delve deeper thou love to depths profound
Yet, cold is the comfort that they contain
A mere shadow impaled by the darkness
Of thine ever distant heart to maintain
With but words written by a pen's caress

Shall words bring all of warmth and love to thee?
Shall in reading, bring thou closer to me?

A fine English sonnet Chalmette and a pleasure to read such exquisite poesy.
