A Lover’s Sonnet


Beloved, from the hour you were born,
in the pause between love and lover’s embrace,
a certainty whispers through the night of rain,
compensation is found in the night’s gentle grace.
In melodies, the soul finds its refrain,
in sonnets of love that our hearts adorn.
When there is music, the soul finds its flight.
The ladder of dreams, we climb hand in hand.


Mother of men, your beauty stars ignite.
The flowers gathered from love’s fertile land.
Beloved, from the hour you were born,
a love beyond compare, bound by fate’s tender thread.
Seven sad sonnets we share, when dreams are wed
in sonnets of love that our hearts adorn.
