A sestina devoted to love |
Love Not Hate Sestina I’m so glad that I found you my love You must have been sent to me from above You have taught me to never hate Our lives entwined, it must be fate. You and yours, I’ll always cherish Even after I shall perish Us not being one, is a thought I perish The nights are better with you my love Our days together I will always cherish My favorite times, watching the stars above Is this our destiny, or is it just fate The nights without you, I will always hate Devotion is so much better than hate These feelings I have, shall never perish Our lives together, such a great fate Shall this diminish, never my love Only if the moon falls from above Shall I stop loving the woman that I cherish To adore, to care, to want and to cherish These feelings are here to deny that I hate Anything that lives on the earth or above My heart sinks, when I see one perish Your influence is that strong, my love And from now on you determine our fate I’m not sure what has decided my fate But I must accept that fact and cherish The knowledge that I have been given your love To keep within my heart and never hate The others in your life, before they perish Because they too, were sent from above Sometimes my heart soars in the clouds above Never denying this grand glorious fate Hoping that it will stay and not ever perish Of this my Lord, I pray you will cherish Our relationship, and not allow hate To interrupt this wondrous time, with my love I beseech the Lord above, to help me to always cherish Our time, for it taught me, my fate is to adore, and never hate Even after I do perish, you'll be my very essence, my love LeBuert 2012 ![]() |
