Sonnet Sundays: How I Love Thee

In the tranquil night, I rest upon the bed

With tender thoughts of you running through my head

Cherishing the very seconds of our time

Bidding farewell should be considered a crime

Dread overcomes when I have to leave your side

There’s no one else with whom I can confide

When I gaze into your sweet, angelic face

The temptation of a kiss makes my heart race

Beyond any doubt, I know our love is true

Our dreams of heaven will be given to you

Thinking of you, you’ll look at our special day

Proclaiming our love with the vows that we say

My promises will be kept as long as I live

There’s nothing for you that I wouldn’t give

We’ll show everyone that we were meant to be

Together, we can overcome the dark sea

The lengthy journey was worth undertaking

Because your love didn’t merit forsaking

You’ll reside in my arms till the day I die

Even the reaper’s scythe can’t break our tie
