Sonnet 15 (Shakespearean Style)

When I hold you I hold everything

You have more beauty than the season spring

When I hold you, Love, my heart wants to sing

My dove, you are the feather’s to my wing.

There is no one who walks this earth as fair

As you, my Lover, ruler of my heart,

The only catcher of my blue eyes’ stare,

Whose beauty struck my blue eyes like a dart.

But, alas, I can’t love you always

Since there is the east, and the sun is you

You both rise, so I fall again each day

That is why I cannot always love you.

  Can you grasp my meaning that is so deep?

  Love, it is my heart you will always keep.

Author's Note

The ending may be difficult to grasp, so let me explain the meaning, and if you already understand it excuse me for putting it in laymen's terms. I only mean that I cannot love her always, because the sun rises each day and each day I fall in love with her all over again, that is why I can't always love her.

I understand what you are trying to relay and can
understand your meaning; even if I have a different spectrum.

My favorite line:
"My dove, you are the feather's to my wing"
I like that sentiment.

It's good to be able to express feelings, though not
always easy to put into words. You succeed.

Peace n Light,
Wicahpi

A wonderful love sonnet. I really liked it. It has feeling grandeur to it I enjoyed. Nice job.
