Have I written something other than thee? (Sonnet 3)

Have I written something other than thee?
Thou with cheeks of shade of vermillion sky,
Thou with lips that stops the waves of the sea,
With a voice that sings this sweet lullaby,
Have I written something other than thee?
Thou that forged this feeling in my poor heart,
With a spirit that in cold dreams I see,
Not a second spent, with me doth it part,
My sweet quill bleed for thee and only thee,
Painted her face by the dawning welkin,
Have I written something other than thee?
About Death or fading constellation,
        So long that these words live within my lips,
        Forever my quill and paper shall kiss.

Wonderful sonnet! Every word in it was beautiful.
Definitely giving ol' Shakespeare some competition I see.

I enjoyed this, it is really quite nice. I really enjoy these parts:
"With a voice that sings this sweet lullaby,
Have I written something other than thee?"

"My sweet quill bleed for thee and only thee,"

" So long that these words live within my lips,
Forever thy quill and paper shall kiss."

soooo pretentious. I feel like this poem is looking into a mirror and complementing itself.

What a great sonnet Dan, I forgot how much I enjoyed such reads.

What a delightful dance of words you have summoned together! Descriptive phrases like "vermillion sky", " thy sweet quill bleed for thee" and "by the dawning welkin" make this sonnet a scrumptious mental treat for readers. Good on ya, mate!

Very well written, this poem is phenomenal is every form or fashion! The second line surprised me and the other stanzas kept me reading. I LOVE your use of similes, they work flawlessly in this write!
Well done, I loved this write!
