Struggles Cease - Sang To Ma Maude C - after William Shakespeare


Struggles cease as heart and eye ally
And each to each good turns does sans delay : -
Now may they twine as heart, with inner eye
Garners reflection fair of peerless traits.
The heart refreshed is eyeing every part,
Open eye's fulfilled, heart's welcome guest,
Moreover neither rush, wait other's start,
As hearts signed, sealed, are mutually impressed.
Mention Present, Past is shadow dim
As Present, passed, fair Future’s bells ring bright,
United are all three : ‘us’, ‘her’, ‘him’s’ hymn,

Draws trinity’s divinity in sight.
Eye may make no mistake, beyond day's shore,
Charmed knight returns to one he’d e’er adore.

Author notes

Happy Birthday M C !


After William Shakespeare

Shakespeare Sonnet XLVII



Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other:
When that mine eye is famish’d for a look,
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother,
With my love's picture then my eye doth feast,
And to the painted banquet bids my heart;
Another time mine eye is my heart's guest,
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part:
So, either by thy picture or my love,
Thyself away art present still with me;
For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move,
And I am still with them and they with thee;
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight
Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight.

    My, this is a beautiful piece you have penned for me here.
    And I just so happen to love a good Shakespearean write myself, so that just gives you more kudos!
    The fact that it's a contest entry aside;
    you have some real talent here and I hope you take this on to bigger and better things, I am very impressed with this write.

    My favorite yet!
