Love's Garden. This one's a sonet.


I live just as a flower on the branch

And fear more blooms will wrongly have success

For thorns will almost surely take my chance

The love here spilt has burned into my flesh

Distraught nights leave me in a gentle haze

My eyes glisten and I must feel the pain

And as days pass I pray to catch your gaze

I hope in time you'll see my love's deep stain

My time's too long and yours too short to wait

My bud shall die, my leaves fall down to waste

And gardeners will shove me out the gate

My poor heart tumbles down the side with haste

This day, today my heart will lie to rest

My love protect you always as a crest
