Love in the shadow

\nI looked and saw the love inside your eye
\nWhere all you are is stored and safe from wear
\nBy life and cares that never will say bye
\nRepair to me so you may make repair<\/p>\n
When you are strong enough to lance the wen
\nKnow then that I shall not be saying no
\nTen times your love I’ll give and then times ten
\nShow you such passion as the gods can show<\/p>\n
‘Til then I’ll be content to watch and till
\nBuild you with labours never to be billed
\nStill loving with a heart that’s never still
\nFilled daily with the need to see you filled<\/p>\n
Steel tough the heart I know that I shall steal
\nReal love I shall have dangling from my reel
\n Author notes
\nOK not right yet, but I am running into such a block on poems I really need to
\nwrite that I thought I’d try to make progress on some old projects.
\nAmera (You do know Amera the impossibly brilliant queen of form now don’t you)
\nlikes to make life dificult so invented a form of poetry called the shadow
\nsonnet. Each line starts and ends either with the same word or a strict
\nhomophone. But sonnets ought to be iambic…<\/p>\n
I still have a couple of lines above that aren’t But I thought I’d post it to
\nsee if anyone suggests a way around those problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
