The Love-Sick Sonnet

Oh Sadness my soul's anthem it does sing

a woman of faith tests mine once daily

the wailing of my heart as she does wring

insane I am to love some one , maybe?

Her golden locks are but keys to my heart

one her sky-lit eyes could see to unlock

her tender soft voice stole me from the start

she took my soul away only to mock

Oh my soul arriving with-out a home

where should it be so my freedom is found

I shall stay lost to be a soul alone

she'll take my heart six feet under the ground

she offers me time to speak what is true

but refuses when I say, "I love you."
