Dictums

Dictums                        by Sami Khalil

(An English sonnet)

Never before finer words of poetry

Twigged where love yet born upon dismay

Unveil silence by storm, youth’s coquetry

Evermore birthing urges of bashful play.

 

Myriad desirous things arise, slip away

The sun shall not be fair delighted of clouds

And man of his windfalls lingers in grey

Where love endures the worldly ways, rebounds.

 

Never before precluded one’s riches

Then being blind to merriments of such life

For odds and ends bind joy and pain’s stitches

If fullness lived in grace, peace knows no strife.

 

In true intentions attest to sanctums

Dreary are the souls void of love’s dictums.

This is a very beautiful written piece of writing Sami. Sonnets are difficult but this wonderful work of yours has a tender and emotive flow to it. I feel it's a very lovely piece of art. Thank you for sharing this poem with us my friend.
