One day when closed shall be my book of life, When I am hushed to eternal slumber To rise and away soar to climes where strife Of love hath no space to ever whisper, In lands where tides of thy sweet memories Might ebb no more unto shores of my heart That culminated into smithereens Since yon dead summer's day we fell apart And thou, fair queen of stars, didst dim thy light That ever shone upon shores of my mind And enslaved me in dungeons dark as night To sight no other star but ever blind!
Oh hark! Like a wildly rolling river So shalt my love gush thy way forever.
Found this sonnet in my alcove of old poems penned yester-year and not posted.
