My version of Sonnet 18 - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ?
For you are more lovely and more temperate.
I would love to shake your darling buds if I may?

As summer's here,so do you fancy a date?
Sometimes I get so hot that your heavenly eyes shine,
and I often see that your tanned complexion looks more dimmed
and so my love for you sometimes declines,
but by a chance, or nature's changing course, lies untrimmed
But my memory of our summer will never fade,
and I won't lose the memories of how fair you are
and death shall not boast that you wander in its shade
as in our eternal lives we will have time to go far

So long as we can breathe, and our eyes can see,
So long as we will share our lives and I give my heart to thee.

Hi fellow Opussians ! I am a published poet having been writing since I was 16. Having had poetry published in poetry anthologies. My life has been too busy to say the least over the last 6 years and so my son Daniel Hing a Ling has persuaded me to put pen to paper and start writing again and join in on the Opussian way of life!

The Stars Shall Shine

The stars shall shine by moon and day. Forever eclipsed by you , I pray. In a never ending tale, I belong to thee. Casting aside all of our history. The sun rains down from high above.

To Eternity

A whisper and then a kiss. If I blink I will miss. Bound together like twine. Destined to always be mine. Shall I seek and forget. The torrid times before we met. Sacrificial memories hold.

My Love

A look, a glance and my spirits are lifted. Safe arms around me. Soft lips to mine. Her love I am gifted. A burning desire. Souls reunited. Hearts beating together. Passion excited. Wonderful company.

Uncomparable

To compare you to the reddest rose. Or the shiniest star. Or the whitest snow. Would not be fair. Would not be true. Their beauty pales. To the vision of you. To put your beauty down in words.

The Four Chambers Of My Heart.

. A quarter is consumed with love so pure And sealed by your allure. Two eighths are filled with a passion that overflows A heat thats deep within and everyday grows.

You are my favorite place that has no name My Mona Lisa smile in my cherry heart frame The way you dance beneath the silver moonlight You piece me whole of joy and pride.
