Sonnet XXXVI - The eyes of hope and ambition

 

Today I gazed in the eyes of freedom

Swam in endless polychrome fairyland

Upon a seraphic moody kingdom

In that exquisite realm, virgin of man

 

I dared to venture in and disregard

Those eyes of hazel had a tempting trance

Although they were wounded and deeply scarred

They danced so sad in a silent romance

 

They had no limit, acknowledged no sky

Had much fears, much torments, and much sorrow

But still they dared to spring up wings and fly

Unto the cryptic land of tomorrow

 

Today at the eyes of hope I brooded

In frozen tears and sorrow I mooted
