The pleasure of the slight and pleasant days
  Encounters us too early and too oft
  That we depart the momentary loft
Of thought too hastily, and 'hind us stays
A wounded seraphim, bleeding profuse
  Against dividing mirrors of stain'd glass
  Obscure as her dear eyes that we see past
To the vast, sunnèd garden's open sluice;
Scorn pleasure's dance, and scorn the apple tree
  And butterflies who on dead stems alight
   For in the chapel, known by precious few,
Behind that crumpled seraph did I see
  A vision most compelling to my sight:
   Divinest tulips in the lamplight grew.

Man you're deep. Either that or I'm extremely shallow, hehe.

Great write though I can't tear it apart line for line...I'd rather just tell you how good it was, and let you know that I LIKED!

A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life, to be thankful for a good one.

that is because you are you, and, that was one of the most beautiful, and tender sonnets I have ever read. I commend you on an absolutely exquisite piece of writing.

Brian, you are so sweet and such a good friend. I hope you'll be there if I ever get in need. You are so compassionate. Do you know that?

Heart hugs to you and Kellie

Mysteria is right. And Kels here is your proof of no reason to doubt.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
