5 shakespearean sonnets, about winter and love
|
Okay, so this is my first try at shakespearian sonnets, so go easy on me! Poem #1: A Moment A cool breeze on a winter evening I wait under the dimly lit stone bridge The air's silent but the wind is singing The moon has yet to rise over the ridge Patiently, I stand still as a statue Watching leaves settle themselves on the ground It seems like time itself has stopped for you For the entire city makes no sound It's the moment in which you hold your breath Your heart stops beating, anticipating It's the moment in which nothing is left But the sound of footsteps hesitating That is the moment the world breathes again That is the moment that you leave again Poem #2: The Return Against Time I'm coming back my love Back to our willow tree Faster than a calling dove I hear you calling me I fly over mountains Climb across rolling hills Just to see your face again Facing dangers; it kills Me. I don't really care What it takes to see you Though by the time I get there Time will have made me a fool 'Cause if only I'd been more brave There'd be no flowers on your grave Poem #3: The Last Night Just tonight, will you pretend That we're in a fantasy? Just tonight, let me believe That nothing will ever end. By morning we'll have to go. Though you'll not see me again, I hope not before you know I loved you. Because back then My words tumbled, they took fright As soon as you came in sight. The only thing left to do Is write a poem for you. So I give you this one link To eternity, through my ink. Poem #4 A Winter Wonderland Snowflakes, ice and icicles; Sliding on a slippery slope; Gone are summer barnicles, Gone are sights of antelope. A blanket covering the town; Nature seems to fall asleep. But children everywhere slide down, Hills, mountaints, and valleys deep. T'is the season for opposites Where nothing ever makes sense. Days are dark, but the ground is lit, Bright fairy lights on the fence. Mistletoe, ivy and holly, Winter's full of joy and folly. Poem #5 The In Between Lie back and watch the stars Will the sun come up for me? I don't think a thing could marr This night with you at sea. Stay here a little while; I don't want to fall asleep. 'Cause nothing could match your smile, Not even the best dream. For dawn is the in between, And I see you gliding You make me feel like a queen, And I'm with you, flying: Far from reality, Is when it seems so real. |
