Transcendental Sonnet #887:
Apology

I want to redeem myself redeem the time
I have been a fool and ruined everything
How can I make it better? Can I still bring
A smile to your face Silke warmth to your heart?
Can I undo what has been done with my rhyme?

I very nearly lost you and broke apart
The only thing which means anything to me
Before my eyes were opened and I could see
Things go from bad to worse to hellish nightmare
Until both our hearts were broken by despair

How can I make it better? Can you love me
As you once did in those beautiful sweet days
Of Silke Shining in the Sky above me?
I love you and I want to be yours always

This was so amazing. The way this made me feel, is nothing words can describe. . Pure truth and that's beautiful.

Misty, your comments are always so supportive and encouraging; I want you to know that they mean a great deal to me. I am ridiculously sensitive--you know we poets are!--and any encouraging word helps me so much, while any discouraging word hurts me so much. Your words are always inspiring to me to keep striving at my art, trying to get better at it. It's wonderful that my words mean so much to you! That's really the best gift a poet can get, especially from another poet, especially from another poet whose work is as good as yours, and for whom I have so much respect. I guess what I am trying to say is: thank you with all my heart. And I apologize for not replying to more posts hereabouts. So much going on. I think Silke liked this sonnet too, and that really makes me happy.

AMOR VINCIT OMNIA

Dear Steve,

The last few sonnets have followed a trend that is not familiar, but the transgression from your normal path to this one has obviously táken its toll.

The weave of magic that was predominant is lacking the fervour and lustre you have been able to keep concentrated before.

It doesnt of course take anything away from the master of sonnets that you are, just another facet.
