Here are some of the sonnets I've written. Be warned that sonnets by nature are melodramatic... even when I wrote these I was never so overwraught as some might suggest...
Sonnet 17
If in this world two minds were e'er the same
And yet as different as the sun and moon
Which, as the moon reflects eternal flame
And harmony improves the simple tune
Increase the other's slendour in the score
If ever throughout time there was a pair
Who shared a common goal in life and more
Philosophies so close, dreams they could share
It must be nature's aim for them to love
And yet our hearts and minds are so alike
And in thine eyes lies no clear sign you love
Which painfully within my heart doth strike
If Cupid's arrows your heart won't receive
Then love's cruel will is solely to deceive
Sonnet 18
Most vile and wretched creature let me be
Thy pettiness has stabbed me like a sword
To you I shall extend no sympathy
Nor shall thy heinous actions be ignored
Oh is there noone I can love and trust
Or are all beings as traitorous as you
Now friendship's strong steel bond is red with rust
Because thy nature was to be untrue
And though it was not I who slandered thee
'Tis you, not I that suffers the defeat
In future years, when wiser you will see
The punishment you thought that you would beat
Although my soul eventually will mend
Forever you shall lack me as a friend
Sonnet 21
Although I only know you from afar
Thy beauty has inspired my heart to sing
Just as the distant sun, the brightest star
Did catch the eye of Egypts fabled king
Who founded a religion to its grace
Compelled enormous empires to revere
So dazzles me the beauty of your face
Sol's brilliance seems to pale when you are near
And is not faith a simple form of love
A different nuance to an equal word
If Egypt prayed to sun g-ds high above
To say I love you shouldn't sound absurd
And if perchance my love your heart declines
'Twould be as though the sun no longer shines
Sonnet 23
My life it seems doth bound from my control
I try, but can not catch this spectral wraith
I slowly lose my sanity and soul
Retaining not cool logic nor sweet faith
Throughout the day I pine away and mope
With only one repreive lest I despair
Thy dazzling smile renews my withered hope
Thine eyes make burdens easier to bear
Thy love would be the perfect remedy
To cure the ailment of a love sick heart
But medicine so rare could scarcely be
Admninstered while we're so far apart
To have your love most certainly would cure
This mental cancer which I now endure
Sonnet 24
Of late I have been getting too much sleep
While slumbering my troubled mind is eased
And sanity is easier to keep
While heartaches are, by dreaming, soon apeased
My waking world is filled with naught but void
Bereft of that which I desire most
In nighttime reveries I've oft enjoyed,
Thy love is not elusive as a ghost
But sleep is temporary quietude
For when I wake my world is fraught with pain
Thine absense puts me in a somber moods
'Til slumber's respite claims me once again
But truly if your love I could posess
'Twould change my favored state of consciousness
Sonnet 25
My lucky eyes possess the gift of sight
Into their homologues in thee they stare
In visions of thy beauty they delight
A privelege which my heart doth long to share
My ears can listen freely to your voice
Quite favored with the blessed gift of sound
And in their place my heart would soon rejoice
If any hint of love could e'er be found
Cruel fate and nature seemingly conspire
To drive me mad through torture of the soul
Displaying for me that which I desire
But never letting me attain that goal
In loving you my aching heart is zealous
And of my senses is extremely jealous
