As I now ponder through the many years I sift regrets as if to deal with cards To gift importance when it warrants tears And continue the reeling of my shards. Until her face became my eye and mind Of sunlight hair and grin unmistaken Could I forget? Is love in death a kind - Of past that time will see her soul taken? No! I let my pain be witness of truth: A love that were is still a love to be; My eye be old yet mirror her youth Reflective moments is when I best see. For life was vowed and life do I still give If not I die for death does not relive!

For Life
If loyalty were colour and then drawn Across the void in clear blue canvassed sky As grand to turn the sovereign artist's scorn Into a star perched centre in his eye, And clouds to be impurities of purity Devotion is known when devotions not The idle efforts of obscurity Yet oh! How beauty needs each sweetened dot, The colour best that loyalty could make; Which need reflect the finest skill at play, Within the chest that love does love it take: The blushing red and purple to display! And from a distanced look at canvassed true To be then seen: that glory's sight of you!

Loyalty in Color
Oh what a task befalls this poet's write: What ode for this a darkness of my mind? Without no form unless my weary sight How could my words of praise to disease bind? Suppose this state is half to full and hence: My dark companion seems a loyal friend; As much as thickened clouds to summer's sense As thought umbrellas block a healthy end. And too with generousity I give The praise: devotion, to the dreadful cause; That fear owns life and in that fear to live And breathe so happiness does not gift pause, But here I pause in ink's defiant line: Go back to hell oh devil, far from mine.

Ode to anxiety
Oh Judge me not in death to love again Sweet spirit rest and souls brace impermanence! If ignorance is rife in worlds of men Remember when embodied of essence, Confuse not love with hearts forgetfulness Still too in wait am I into your realm That which did live has mine of loneliness In tribute now to then my hearted helm! Departed though my sweetest love beyond Has such instilled a love and way to love And have me deep in need alike that bond Which has dear soul concerned far there above: Rest love in all the bliss such souls command If weren't your love, then mine is worthless sand.

Oh Judge me not in death
If could a summer linger 'bout myself Accompanied then by the master's eye Up high and proud as perched on twelfth With generous out-glow of amber's dye, Then sandy strolls by sea are daily grinds Their salty wash would trickle up my feet On funny, little shells of whisper kinds As seagulls chatter: glory to the heat, Then Lord's spy will close eye of glow to sleep Majestic summer wields it's magic night As kisses softly breeze are mine to keep And tell tomorrows bring it's beaming light. Have summer in infinities galore! But trade I would to feel her breath once more.

If Could A Summer...
My weary mirror has no fun of late It's stare is empty, cautious and as dim As happiness when met in deathly date What now is me appears into a him, And he could sadden sad into a smile In grin of measure wide that his decrease Within a crept behind the eye of bile In salt and wound that pains the skin to crease For each a sullen ridge re-tells a sorrow made By form as poor as deeply dug it's way That pleasance birthed with vibrance were to fade So have us left depressed into decay What sulken form reflects mine eyes to see The bitter sight and breathless life of me.

My weary mirror
No Poem mends the bleeding heart, Of ruptures, love had wrought upon. Nor syllables express and part That love with past their gone. Why write then oh lovelorn friend And poet? Why stage your sorrows there? Whom but within your pain shall know it Whom even with heart shall dare? Let know for sorrowed lovers that grief of ardence! Your pain is shared No heart is spared Let words least mend the silence!

Mend the silence
When all my dreams are lively dreams no more, And dirt, my winter blanket covers me; To join as dust eternal time has store; The fate of fates does destine mine to be. No shine of summer reach below the field Let barren as the life had lived, now low, But lest a bed of grass have fresh dirt shield So none may think me buried six below. That gentle patter of the autumn winds Not play the beat this core once drummed ago When spring did glow before what time recinds, Leave damp and lonely soil and all it's woe: That cold; be all my seasons, all of four If I am not to see you evermore.

Cold
I) Our precious months have none for charity, Yet isolation; do by months donate My waning form, for solidarity; Absent of sickness, nearer distant fate. My end seems meek and much less horrible, Than if your eyes did scorn what time does crease Upon my skin, less white adorable, For yours of beauty stilled, mourn my decrease? No! Worry not, for sweet your sweetheart's eye: Abundant in immortal glory's stage, When paired with you no longer I am I But us! Now five years more, ten gone my age. Yet that decrease fear covids added much; Corona's law: times two without your touch. (II) Law bid's my better self from me to part, Across the sick laid world in viral war, If wonder where's my best? Let check your heart; Where all my vibrancy and ferver store, Albeit are my eyes that make the artist, And art is love when beauty forms the muse; Is you that map my beauty true; sweet chartist! But you had only mapped your own infuse. When this abundance has your dearests seen; True mind's deduction knows what bears without; A kingdom ruled in vigil for a queen; Steadfast a lesser king, still king devout. My love - my best you have and best to know: Pity my least, when most without your glow. (III) Oh lovely one, tho' time's unsavory, Your privilege from it's change and creasing blade; Deprives from time: decay's own slavery, From your sweet youth that sweetest form has stayed. What deity does guard your beauty's jewel? Whom favored graces do continue more; In time that sweeter mood will turn to cruel: An infamy well known from those whom wore. Ah! When that fearsome wand does show your wear, Never me fooled; yes grey would hue your white And happen all the while before my stare; But love shan't change, nor day appear as night Nor heart could grey nor love turn older stale'd. If proved these false; mere proved my pulse had failed. (IV) I tend this lockdown'd day in unmade bed, Then greet the icy morn with bitter brew But drown in distant news of many dead; I gasp for foreign lives I never knew. How near to you! Thus near my sacred stone; Beholder of my love what love there bears, If comfort's found beneath your chested bone, Is mine revealed; a love when all else tears. Ah! Meager seems my loneliest of lines, When other loves have costlier of loss, For ours shall turn when 'rona's force resigns; Back to our hearted bridge at lover's cross, But thought the pain if you succumbed the worse Does think my end by body, soul, in hearse!

Love & Isolation (In four sonnets)

(I) No lovelier of cause has pen to write Your praise; my love's own glorious inspire: Conveying love to black on naked white, Returns by color, soaked in ink's perspire. O, could by rhyme suffice your eyes that I Convince by wage of heart; my love's here true? Is truthfulness the star to pupil dye And clarity; the heart in starry view? Then bluish gems, that aqua twice in yours; I humble here love's options made of two: Accept my ardent verse where ardence stores, Or seek the words another prose for you. If worthier a pen on me replace, How he out-blushed this ode, is my disgrace. (II) Remove my page then, far from where you stand, But count the steps you pace as you reverse; And sum their noted by your careful hand; Amount the total tears my mourn disperse. Sad offspring of my eyes would tarry not: Like scattering of soldiers they'd unite; And seek for mine your place, your grace and spot Albeit puddle, pond or river's plight. My watery of knights would surely find Your source, that from them caused their liquid rue: As you may travel far and fast as mind, Yet you have distanced none the far you knew: My words maybe where Saturn hides the sea But then your heart is Saturn, hiding me. (III) Then why conceal, deny by chested vase My adoration, born'd in host it lives? You form my paradise, why seek in Mars; A love's debris a rounding ring relives? For they of heart write emptiness like space And float the idle years of reverie; Never to touch beyond a planet's face, Is love to waste; proclaiming ever he? Replete your eyes with hearted cause of mine, I ask; not to mislead your eyesight's will But reason; to accept what here define A love already yours possessing still. O' Saturn'd heart, your loveliness gives thought Absent your favor here, this three is nought. (IV) What measure raise my words that eye'd no more By mind and heart, both for these lines are filled? Condemned into the realm of there before, And here this forth with them as they are spilled, Into a sadden pit that ink dissolves By lava; love so equally does dread, Where unrequited drowns, till there absolves And what was once my love and all, is dead? No! Sweetest muse, is me I doubt not love; Mere thoughts we could be parted have me lost But in my deepest fear's love's deepest glove: In darkness love shines brightest, hope is glossed! Oh truth, have I now found you for my eye No lovelier of cause: has proved no lie!
