Sonnet XIX

My sweet love is the splendor of the sun

His love shines warm within my heart

He says my name; I know that he’s the one.

With him I shall not dare or try to part.

So soft and bright like stars in dark night sky

My way I yearn for sky blue eyes to see

And when they do, I feel like I could fly,

In azure eyes I find my spirit free.

And yet I gaze into those sapphire eyes

I’m trapped, I simply cannot look away

Ensnared by lovely jades I’m deaf to lies

But from him I do fear the most to stray.

Eternally my soul with him shall rest

My loving heart I give without protest
