Life's Canvas

Sonnet

 

Time marches on like a thief in the night
stealing precious moments, two lovers share
come sing to me your melody delight
let's test time's cruel hand of fate if we dare
time marches on and love withers like weeds
stars which once shone,grow dim, then fade away
and love's red rose is gone in 'morrow's breeze
 sky is filled with colors, tho~sometimes gray
let's stalk the night and steal away the moon
let's make it ours~and waste naught golden sun
Paint life's canvas! while we might, with gay tone
'lest our love's painted murals, lay undone

yes, let's test time's cruel hand,fate,if we dare
steal back precious moments we lovers share

A lovely sonnet.

I think this is beautiful poem holds a profoundly true message. Time keeps going, whether we will it to or not, so make the best of it. I really like your rhyme-rhythm scheme, and your words were eloquent as always. Thank you for sharing this piece. :)
