Occasional Poetry - 23. May Sonnet
i>A sonnet for a new month. Can't stop writing poetry, it seems. No doubt there are errors. I made them.
Come, love, and let me be the gentle rain
to soothe your fever's all persistent ache;
let me assuage your solitary pain
and all your desert desiccation slake.
Come, love, and in me kindle flames which burn
so wild as to consume fear's forest deep,
that dark, forbidding fastness rude and stern
where I lay hid with secrets that I keep.
Come, love, so let us till our autumn ground
and plant again that we might know the spring
may come again to us who may confound
the seasons of our life upon its string.
Come love, here make in me your dwelling sure;
upon my heart's foundation be secure.
em>I appreciate reviews, if you feel so moved.
