Sonnet 001

Based on the work of Shakespeare - I wish I was as good as him.

Sonnet 001

 

I know you like a blackbird knows the sky,

I’ve felt your harshest wind and calmest breeze.

Your gentle touch could halt an infant’s cry,

Your might could bring a nation to its knees.

There is no light or fire that shines as bright

As your smile, from which the sun arises

No sky, even at the blackest of nights

Can match your eyes from which darkness rises.

Your touch, so soft, never fails to woo me

With you I am alive, with you I’m free

Gaze so harsh I swear you look right through me

You own my heart, my soul, all parts of me

You brought me up, and you shall bring me down

With you I am afloat, with you I drown.
