DEEP INTO YOUR EYES I STARE,



ENDLESS POOLS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY,



THOUGH YOUR HEART WE CANNOT SHARE,



TRYING TO GAIN IT IS TORTURE AND CRUELTY.



I CATCH YOUR GLIMPSE,



AND THIS FOR ME,



A MOMENT OF BLISS



AND SERENITY.



I HEAR YOUR VOICE LIKE A SIREN’S CALL



AND MY HEART, IT URGES ME TO GO,



TO BRAVE THE SEA AND TEMPEST’S SQUALL,



CARESS YOUR HAIR AND LET YOU KNOW.



MY LOVE FOR YOU, AN IRON CHAIN,



THOUGH CAPABLE OF RUSTING,



ONLY IF LEFT WITHIN YOUR RAIN,



OF JOYFUL LAUGHTER LUSTING.



DEEP INTO MY SOUL I SEARCH



FOR A SINGLE FLICK’RING FLAME



THAT OF MY HEART WILL MAKE A TORCH



AND OVER YOU MIGHT KEEP ME SANE.





*******************************

NO LONGER IS IT THAT I NEED YOU,



THE IRON CHAIN HATH SHATTERED.



MY LOVE, HOWEVER, REMAINS TRUE,



BUT THAT NEVER REALLY MATTERED.



NEVER WILL I FEEL THINE BREATH



WHISPER IN MY EAR,



AND SO I INVITE SWEET DEATH



TO STAY MY SIDE AND REAMIN NEAR.



I WISH FOR YOU TO TAKE HIS PLACE,



SO WHEN YOU HURT, YOUR PAIN I FEEL.



YOUR SOFT AND GENTLE EYES AND FACE



ARE ALL I NEED TO MEND AND HEAL.



MY LIFE I GIVE UNTO THEE,



AND PRAY YOU TAKE IT TO BE YOURS,



AND CAST IT ON BACK OUT TO SEA



SO IT NEITHER SINKS NOR FLOATS TO SHORE.



Iآ’VE GIVEN UP, WONT TRY AGAIN



TO CATCH YOUR SOUL UP IN MY EYE.



YOUR SIMPLE BEAUTY DESTROYS MEN



MAKES THEM CRUMBLE, MAKE THEM CRY.



MY SOUL HATH SHATTERED, BROKEN AND MELT



FOR NOT ANOTHER, NOR EVER ANOTHER,



AND THIS PAIN WHICH I HAVE FELT



WILL NEVER BE FELT FOR ANOTHER.



MY HEART IT TURNS TO ICY STONE



SPIDERS AND CROWS SEEK HOME IN ME.



I BECOME THEIR DARKENED THRONE,



I AM, FOR THEM, THEIR DARKENED KING.



I RULE MYSELF WITH INDIGNANT JUSTICE,



PUNISH MYSELF FOR NOT COMING FORWARD.



I RULE MYSELF WITH EXTEREME MALICE,



YET NE’ER BRANDISH MY RUSTED SWORD.



YOUR SUN CAN’T OVERCOME MY NIGHT,



NOR SET FOOT IN MY LAND.



MY HEART NOW SHUDDERS AT YOUR SIGHT,



YET STILL YEARNS FOR YOUR WARM HAND. RATS FLOCK TO ME AT MY COMMAND,



HEARING, FEELING, SMELLING SORROW.



TAKING OVER ALL MY LAND,



AND NOW I KNOW THERE’S NO TOMORROW.





**************************

YOU TRAMPLED ME, YOU SCARRED ME



BY NOT ANSW’RING TO YOUR NAME.



Iآ’M BLEEDING NOW CAN YOU NOT SEE,



OR TO YOU IS IT ALL THE SAME?



LOVE YOU NOW, HATE YOU THEN



YOU’VE MOCKED ME THE LAST TIME.



HOW SADDENED HAVE YOU REALLY BEEN?



HOW DELIGHTED BY YOUR SAVAGE CRIME?



FROM MY GUSHING HEART ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?



DO YOU LAUGH AND DANCE AT ME?



DO YOU SMILE AT MY WRITHING PAIN



AND TAKE PLEASURE IN FROM WHAT YOU SEE?



YOU NEED NOT ANSWER, FOR THE ANSWER I KNOW.



YOUR LIES DECEIVE ME NOT.



YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF MY FOE,



AFTER GIVING ME ALL THAT I HAVE SOUGHT.



I’D HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU.



I’D HAVE GIVIN ALL THAT I COULD GIVE,



SO YOU COLD HAVE ALL THAT’S TRUE,



SO THAT YOU COULD HAPPILY LIVE.



LIKE AN UNKNOWING CAT, YOU PLAYED WITH ME,



A TOY AT YOUR DISGRESSION.



AND SO I WRITE THIS SONNETT FOR THEE,



MY STORY OF LOVE, HATE, AND DECEPTION.
