Lover's Requiem

An assignment for English.

A Lover’s Requiem

 

How can I convey my full love to thee?

A withered flower of stark-still beauty

Whose heart is a gold lock, and I the key

She a princess of the sun; a cutie

 

Whose frosted fledgling heart I long to melt

My fire the true remedy of her ice

Soaking up her corpse-cold chill, I’ve felt

Beauty’s winter-sharp dread, a heavy price

 

Though her limbs they grow so weak and weary

As my sunlight kisses her frozen heart

It thaws frostbite that hath made life dreary

Rousing my love, ending our reign apart

 

Her heart stitched from the strands of my blue veins

Her seams the lie of love, and what remains.

Author's Note

It should fit the form of a Shakespearean Sonnet now :)

Wow, that was lovely. The tone was quite fitting and I adore your line "Her heart stitched from the strands of my blue veins" It so beautifully illustrates the intertwined, single entity status that love brings. Thank you for writing.
