Sonnet 8

If ever you should turn and look away,

From this poor soul upon this mortal ground,

And say your love is lost and gone astray,

For cupid's dart another heart has found.

Some arrows leave the bow and fly afoul,

And find a mark that was not meant to be,

Or fall upon a cold and fallow soul,

Who'll take your love but give not back to thee,

But if you say your love will never fade,

Nor take from me the gift you did bestow.

The sweetest melody the heavens played,

Which fills my heart with songs that overflow.

So long as I am yours and you are mine,

Forever will you be my Valentine.

Sonnet 7

We love the actor on the silver screen

And worship him who plies his craft so well.

It matters not his melancholy spleen,

While on himself he tends too long to dwell.

Quite often is the mighty man obsessed

And thrilled to see his image in the glass,

While prancing round and quite absurdly dressed,

Content to play the fool or courtly ass.

But if we spent more time on those we love

And praise them for the little things they do.

Instead of pulling out the boxing glove;

Content to know their motives were but true.

Then we could live our lives in sweet content.

No need our mortal ego to augment.

Sonnet 6

Onto an Alpenglow you do contrast.

More radiant your glowing soul within.

Too soon the mountain top with stormy blast,

Cacophonies with lightning’s awesome din.

Quite often is the mighty mountain dressed,

Enshrouded with gray cowl so bleak and dark.

Cold rains and icy fingers grip her crest,

With ragged snowy features cold and stark.

But you, sweet jewel with brightly shining eyes,

Forever on the sunny side of life.

With magic words to conjure lover’s sighs,

Will never fade by life’s unending strife.

As long as planets whirl and winds do blow,

No end is there to your celestial glow.

Sonnet 5

Prelude of lightless light and soundless sound.

Jet Black the clock that founts the tick of time.

Emptiness and sweet silence all abound.

Anticipation of beginning chime.

As lead conductor raises hand on high,

Kinetic talent waits for shoe to fall.

Baton like painted arrow set to fly,

And write the timeless tune upon the wall.

But from within the silence rose a song,

Beginning with the tiniest of bars.

To echo through the ages clear and strong,

Crescendo ever after to the stars.

 But was this song created all in vain,

And will it not all happen once again?

Sonnet 4

There stands a man upon the distant hill

With sparking orbs and alabaster tongue

Who skips about and gladly plays the shill

To greedy trolls upon the highest rung

As hapless puppets dangle from gold strings

That stare upon the world with cold blank eyes

And mimic lies with venomous sharp stings

To silence now forever peoples cries

But there may come a day when he will need

The people to support him where he stands

To then inoculate him from his greed

And sever from his heart those shackling strands

For there is more to life than fame and gold

And tyrant’s towers tumble and grow cold
