So I was reading/studying old sonnets as usual, and bemoaning my woes, then suddenly feeling overwhelmed, taking up my pen, found I might compose perhaps one of those lofty pieces, and all in the familiar theme of love......okay, someone who knows better can find all the flaws and reject it outright for success in the endeavour.......
This thanks to the last fellow that provoked sour lines.....not the recently departed sweet one.
Love's Lost (lament)
(sonnet attempt # IV)
IV
When he found himself 'most falling in love....
And that my mother's so disapproving;
And that my conscience also bothered me,
He found these obstacles t'o'erpass too much
And cast me cruel and bittersweetly off.
My pleas, vain wish, my earnest entreaties
To God that he not thus in this succeed,
But burn with remembrance, nor we be lost,
I could not but beg, nor trust Him thus to hear;
For 'twas contrary to His written Word.....
And yet for all my hopes and dreams, my tears
I oft anon shed and fear I'm UNheard......
For love I plead....holy matrimony.....
Dost Thou e'er reject.....all is mockery?
