Shall I compare thee to a summer’s night
Thy eyes reflect its dimming lapis sky
Leaving me breathless, my soul alight
Beauty not seen since days long since gone by
The crescent moon quite similar to
Thy smile which entrances me
And dusk with her rich ruby hue
Your lips which bring such jubilee
Though temper’d clouds may bring despair
And mournful winds may chill thy face
I shall brush away thy tears and hair
Warm thy soul with doting embrace
So much our love has grown this year
So long will I remain right here

Beautiful love poem, over all great flow and rhyme, though I stumpled in one spot

Beauty not seen since days long gone by.
I like it alot
Well done.

a different love poem...powerful with beautiful expressions...

those first residuals, aghast! The temperate state of thy first receiving this, is at most, a notable account of credit worthiness, than imitation. With dusk, doting, and the lapis sky, perriwinkling an abrupt upstage of the Bard himself. Lavered in brevity, the brush away of tears is a moving embrace in as much a doting one. Nice words.

Glad you finally finished it. I see you kept the last line. Sometimes you just have to take what you already have I guess.
