Of this my dear, this love I have in wait
before the door and far from waking light.
A trying thought that lingers within fate
upon the dream within the aged plight.

For age does come upon the river’s flood
to bring to bear the vision of mine eyes.
The torrent swift, the vessel’s raging blood,
the dark and drear and purple layered skies.

Yet if the mind should bring to thought the change
and let the heart and soul be brought to rest.
A light will shine to view the new arrange,
of this I know, and that I will attest.

For neath the veil, the mask does dearly hide
that of ourselves we truly would have lied.

very nicely written and a terrific read,,,

A voice of honesty

more than voices

A sonnet from the sire! Be thy name Vanity? 'Tis but Fair! For thou dost preen and exercise the point of thy quill with utmost care and profusion.
