My Heart My Soul a Sonnet

Within without my soul entrust to you
my shield is down, my sword to you my light
by Sun by Moon this want of you bemuse
let song of love calm ache of heart this night

The storm abates to fallen rains my sweet
though chaos reins through quest of heart my love
and time and place are pains to spear so deep
and other hands conceive to cage this dove

Twin flames a fire can not deny this fate
and though your burn is not yet dead to love
refuse the need to search outside my gates
if not you choose to slap me with your glove

and endings be this poets written part,
forever cut in two, this Soul, this Heart.

James Parker Haley Jan 03, 2002

Terrific in form here...and is this Shakespearian sonnet form? (I always get confused.)

I admire anyone who works well with a 10 syllable count, but you do so with soft romanticism and yearning...

Love the sonnets--you do it well! grins and

Another gem from your pen...headed to my library...the pedestal section of course *L*

I am so glad I didn't miss this one. It is stunningly beautiful. Sonnets are not easy, yet the flow in this makes me feel it simply fell from your quill, as raindrops fall from the sky, or as teardrops fall from a forsaken lover's eye.

Parker...

I love the last two lines the most, they read so beautifully! Don't get me wrong though, it's great from beginning to end!

I've attempted sonnets, and they just don't seem to want to come together, but yours are wonderful.
