Sonnet I

Post by Thenarius »

My beloved, I now confess a flaw –
For all I boast I rely on no one,
My heart is ice which only you can thaw;
I rely on you; you are air and sun.

Most days I neither think nor move, through pain,
And I trudge swampily through bloodied fen.
Yet you come in and cleanse like a spring rain;
You have revitalized my soul again.

Some years have passed now since I fell for you
You grow more beautiful each passing day
And to your beauty I wish to be true;
Come frolic with me in the fields of May.

Come give me life and breath and beauty, too;
My darling, I depend wholly on you.

Sonnet II

Post by Thenarius »

I was lost in the woods, looking for you
And my feet had been caught up in some snare
When the wolf growled behind me, then I knew
I had foolishly trespassed upon her lair.

She was large; her eyes shone red in the fog
And her hot breath filled me with great terror
I drew back and stumbled over a log;
I reached for my bow and found no arrow.

Since the fantasies of you disarmed me,
I sought a new weapon within you, too,
Reasoning that if you could thus so harm me,
You could also show me something more true.

This is the weapon that I got from you:
All things are beautiful, if they be true.

Sonnet(-ish) III

Post by Thenarius »

(c. spring 2016)

My love, you stabilize the deep waters
And you bring comfort to the raging tides
In your soothing light, nothing else matters
I care for nothing outside of your eyes.

Needless to say, I have no need but thee
Your consolation has given me voice
So I will sing this lovesong endlessly
But in the end, I must leave you the choice.

Shall you then choose after me to pursue?
Has the song of my heart enthralled you so?
Shall you turn away, leave me to make do?
And shall I have to learn to let you go?

Speak swiftly -- my heart awaits your response!
'Til then, what have I left but esperance?

Sonnet(-ish) IV

"Sinister", they call those dear souls who lurk
Waiting out in the dark to seek their prey
How it offends me! This is their work!
A lovely contribution, if I may.

I trust them more, for I know what they seek
They just want to be wholly satisfied
And, in so doing, they may cull the weak --
Rend'ring death to those who've already died.

I cast no judgment, I bear no ill will
But within me, I one secret do hide --
Those men so sinister give me a thrill
And I would give much for one at my side.

So my secret feelings have I laid bare --
Would that one of those men would me ensnare!
