i'll carve my truest thoughts into the wall
tonight with hope that you will hear my plea
the clock once told me one day i would fall
yet never whispered how i'd not be free
the pain i feel invites my heart to break
the winter snow drifts beauty for awhile
although i have nowhere to go, i'll make
the best of this in thinking of your smile
there is a scythe that hides within the wind
it holds your voice and tells me you don't care
oh i apologize for how i sinned
i never meant to bring you such despair
you tossed me to the streets with no remorse
and cried how you could do with a divorce
you tossed me to the streets with no remorse
and cried how you could do with a divorce
Author Notes: This piece is not autobiographical.
what wonder oh, how dainty and how true
the depth and feeling of your little song
what vivid composition through that view
which bled your soul from where true skill belongs
i've traced throughout your genius, my friend
and read, and read again your every rhyme
and love how you can paint the thoughts that blend
to triumph through your muse's life in time
it feels as though you've writ forever, see
the way you can evoke exquisiteness
with that you shine your gift to such degree
that Euterpe must have blessed you with a kiss
thus when this praise aligns within your sight
i hope that you can see how you inspire
and in your thoughts i take more than delight
for how you hail as queen of poet's fire
this sonnet is but second-rate when weighed
in contrast to your faithful serenade
Author Notes: This piece was originally writ for poetess whom I met on another site. Her abilities in the sonnet form is remarkable and I feel so very fortunate to call her my friend. I believe the heroic sonnet is the perfect form to express how much I respect her as a fellow sonneteer and how her inspiring her work is. This one's for you Joyce.

a single breath
weaves a thousand lies
bore by the truth as all your dreams
still linger of his breath.
oh, i'm grazing...
grazing my heart with
hope to find you
interwoven in those lines
that you so seductively moan
in such a radiant beauty.
i'm mesmerized,
lost to the whole world but...
for you i am there in
that moment you've always felt
obligated to create.
the most delicate hint of me
slowly trickles.
i am
in love.

I'll validate my love to a degree
When with my pen I shed my constant aim
To live, to feel, to know what makes me free
Deep in the verses I let pour and bleed
Of beauty and with all I long to know
I'll keep you there for you are all I need
As you invoke in me the faintest glow
Please do not take exception to my heart
When all is known through every word I write
Nor yet deny my passion bares an art
That most may find too mazy to recite
Deliver me from all that haunts me still
Make known the love you swore you would fulfill
of blood and ink and of my truest thoughts
that once revived my heart to bear this whole
when love was love and lover's never sought
'twas Euterpe who would vouch for my poor soul
she sent to me when I was but a child
and came to me within a dream, you see
across the moor, across the murky wild
my other half who waited there for me
and how I have embraced that very cause
to satisfy the soul of one who dwells
within my heart to intrigue all the laws
of love and of sweet poetry to tell
I found my love, my love found me alone
eternally she's all I've ever known
i etch in stone the sight of my mind's eye
through broken words that i have wished for her
to know when all my thoughts bring me to cry
of all the reasons my future's a blur
while memories still linger in my pain
and i hold in my soul this cross to bear
to where i sense through dreams i'll not again
confess my deepest thirst, i now forswear
i cannot claim to be one who exists
nor can i say that i am now at peace
my passion died, i long to bare my wrists
wide open and so forth this hurt will cease
the sadness that she gave me through her ways
will haunt me here and now for all my days
through broken words that i have wished for her
to know when all my thoughts bring me to cry
of all the reasons my future's a blur
while memories still linger in my pain
and i hold in my soul this cross to bear
to where i sense through dreams i'll not again
confess my deepest thirst, i now forswear
i cannot claim to be one who exists
nor can i say that i am now at peace
my passion died, i long to bare my wrists
wide open and so forth this hurt will cease
the sadness that she gave me through her ways
will haunt me here and now for all my days
I think so much about our final yearNow that you've gone and left me here to stay
I used to think that you would never near
A time when death upon your soul would play
You were so young I thought that every day
The sun would shine and we would always be
Here for each other far before the gray
Breached both our lives and set your spirit free
I know one day it's your face that I'll see
When fate should twist in time and have me go
Just know for now I'll hold you here with me
Beyond my pain where all my love does flow
There is no-way I'll think no more of you
I'll have no peace until my life is through
I'll have no peace until my life is through
What reason would there be to shed a tear
Deep in your soul without the means to say
Just how it stirred you, moved you, brought you near
Your inner worth that often seems at bay
Just how it stirred you, moved you, brought you near
Your inner worth that often seems at bay
Beyond the aid that draws your feelings in
An instant that you wish you could impress
Upon a surface through a tone you'd spin
So lovely that you'd calm your worldly stress
An instant that you wish you could impress
Upon a surface through a tone you'd spin
So lovely that you'd calm your worldly stress
For every time you yearn to paint your heart
Right from the source of your abyssal dreams
Right from the source of your abyssal dreams
There'd be no way for you to know the art
Of graceful verse when nothing in life seems
To bare the view that can arouse your mind
And have you leave your earthly cares behind
Tonight I reminisce, tonight I die
Tonight I reminisce, tonight I die
I walk with all my burdens on my back
I do my best, oh Lord knows how I try
To make it there yet deep within I lack
My tears expose me as a weary man
I wonder if there is a place for me
And if there is, should I believe I can
Survive the ugliness my spirit sees
I sense the fiery buried in my heart
Has fabricated all my virtue now
While through it all I've learned to join and part
With bitterness and strife, my only vow
In which I won't forgive her for her ways
Will linger animosity always
While through it all I've learned to join and part
With bitterness and strife, my only vow
In which I won't forgive her for her ways
Will linger animosity always
Deep in my mind that acts as my true sightI hide beneath the cloak of my daydreams
While knowing only when I wish too bright
The things I feel within the way life streams
While knowing only when I wish too bright
The things I feel within the way life streams
And by the breadth and height of all I've veiled
I'll shine as validly as what my soul
Does wish for you, oh if my love had failed
Then I'll conceive to let these words console
I'll shine as validly as what my soul
Does wish for you, oh if my love had failed
Then I'll conceive to let these words console
In how you sometimes seem to doubt wherein
If I were more assuring then dear muse
You'd take a look at all the beauty in
Your every ounce of fairness I enthuse
You'd take a look at all the beauty in
Your every ounce of fairness I enthuse
I here attest my truest thoughts that brim
Beyond the depth while all my feeling's whim
Beyond the depth while all my feeling's whim
oh, with these mere delights of beauty's cause
which by your weary heart are seldom seen
i'll veil the moon, the sun and nature's laws
to have you to myself my lovely queen
so nothing but the stars and space and time
will then enchant your soul to bring anew
the music of our fate: sweet heaven's chime
and grant the darkness in your mind adieu
but such things i cannot do on my own
i'll need your breath and spirit to create
that perfect place: a place where kisses blown
can break through all the chaos; i'll await
until we meet within our dreams again
please keep these thoughts to ease your deepest pain
Now if this world would lack upon its face A single trace of beauty writ in verse
The same expressions that get me to chase
My own dreams when I feel I must converse
In silence through my mind's eye when it feels
That I have more to give than I can see
It would not be the same if as a seal
My heart was just too lost to pour out free
I doubt that I'd consider my worth when
The scene of everything would not inspire
My soul would be too empty to begin
That spark so it may build into a fire
I know that I would never be content
My days and nights would be my life's lament
My days and nights would be my life's lament
