Poem #23 on Shakespeare’s Birthday! And the 20 year mark of my husband and my first kiss. It is a day I shall always remember. This is my somewhat clunky attempt at a sonnet. For my amazing husband of 19 years and to that first kiss that set our path together.

Sonnet’s Kiss

A glimmer cradled in gentle request

To enter threshold of my brightest gain

Thou play first ballads cause of amour

To render a sure sketch her diagram

But thou syncopate my heart to thy beat

Fueling my light’s flame with thy substantial song

Hearing our rhythm within friendship’s pace

Thy act had shown a cache our prize

Thou that art now the night’s fast prisoner

Broke candid company from frozen spring

Awaken thine own lips, saved from lament

And hover there over mine with revelry

Tender time tick tocks shall this moment toll

To see a future here, thy song esto perpetua
