Sonnet written for me by the woman I love, Ashley. Aurora Ceres

 

When First I Dreamt Of You

Rising above cracks and dust of stone's guise,  
faith did wend pure hearts, pledged and unfeigned.
Stillness settled within unearthly cries-
breathless silhouettes of sunsets contained.

As sighs existed beyond veils of trice,
grace dictated time to line our days-
Staved from fear's vein, assured love would suffice,
above judgment and perception's false praise.

Beneath fair willow we laid soft entwined,
whispered vows transcended all fancies pleased
as lover's hands and passion's breath combined,
bathed in aeon, wept from deities appeased.

Together, we strove with supernal might,
besting laden shadows that dared to blight.

 

 

 


"We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine   

 bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne."

 -  Marcus Aurelius

 

"It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment."

- Cicero

 

 

 

"I can't afford skywriters, or singing telegrams, or roses sent daily, or even bus fare right       now; so as to flag your heart down. What I do I have, is the fullness of my heart's devotion, bound towards you and no other."
