Finding love (Shakespearian Love Sonnet)

A love poem chiseled in hearts defiant chord

I’m a speaker through hearts confinement

For love so blinding nary have I the words

I filter verbs lush but still refining

The poet turned speechless in words finest hour

Without words but not lacking affection

For you I’d climb the highest tower

So virile a love needs words attention

Our love is still said in only whispers

Sweet nothings that lead only half-way to your arms

Love of my heart please paint your picture

So I can live in the frame of your art

I’ve found the words that never fail the poet

They fold beneath the curves of your silk skin.

Winter Warmth

There’s a choir of angels in your eyes

Bursting forth with voices of bright promise

Peace on earth every heavenly child

In your cradle meek and mild

Snow castles built upon the hill

Hold the warmth of winter in

Treetops white and winter here

A gentle brush of love this year

Hearts of glee and giving spirit

With heavy mirth we all draw near

To hear about the night before Christmas

Every rendition, crystal clear,

Dancing by the mistletoe

Rosy cheeks all aglow

Snow-kissed bliss

Beneath the star

Love erased all the scars

Winter warmth is all around

Joyous in every corner of town

Keep the season fantastical

Ring the bells for Christmas calls.
