[Sonnet #107 to SouthHampton: "...thy monument/When tyrents' crests and tombs of brass are spent./"]
(sonnet #MMMMMMCMXIX)
What ho! Write of the violets like t'avail
My soul of cherished hours gone far, far hence
Upon the crueler rending of joys thence,
And Life's dear fabric as it were, and pale
As aught excuse, read Shakespeare--in betrayl
Wisked off, as how those lines rouse for intents
Sweet minutes lingring oer the violets, whence
I lisped "...and Death to me subscribes--"(sans bail).
Lo, I can see all now as twas (in poor
'Scuse, eh?): blue skies sae warm, and silver dew
Just melted off the shadowed clover, fer
Those minutes I bent down and mused, while too
Thus fingring purple dainties winds would stir
Across sans kissing...and why now anew?

whats love, if it means nothing,
What's the point of having a will if there is nothing to fight for?
Is it meaningless to care if there's no clear benefit?
If I pray to God for a wish,
and he gives me an opportunity,
Why do I still keep wishing?
I wake up every morning, knowing that nothing will really change. Should I even wake up?
In a vineyard of grapes,
why do I crave a strawberry
Why do I feel a stone drop on my back
When the finish line is just a few steps away?
Is this a curse?
If it is, I rebuke it,
If this is a punishment,
I learned from my actions
. For so long, I thought it was impossible,
for me to have to work for something like this
Why can't it just happen?
It makes me sick.
But I don't want this feeling to leave.
