Sonnet 2

Can I hold a finger to your shadow?
And hope you will never turn without me
Never face alone your lonely battle
Never disregard the help you can’t see

My heart follows thru the lonely desert
To stop the sun from burning your fair skin
I catch you when you stumble in the dirt
Invisible to the world we will win

In passing time you come to see my face
And realize that I was meant to guard you
My love it will forever keep you safe
I’ll shield you from all the pain you once knew

So now we stand together arm in arm
All full of smiles, and never fearing harm

Sonnet

(The following is a Spenserian sonnet)

An open wound on a slow bleeding heart,
Small gift from pretty you to lonely me.
A souvenir of time we’ve spent apart,
Time never truly meant to set me free.

Through my open heart your love it does flee;
Leaving tracks in several shades of red.
You are never quite clear of the debris,
Never quite clear of the tears I have shed.

Maybe, my love, you should read what you said
Or Should I take an arrow to the heart?
Maybe you will take my arrow instead
Then my world can start to crumble apart

So I forge a shield made of love and hope
If I fail and lose you, I could not cope
