Sonnet 10 ~ Love; Present Among All Things




Sonnet 10 ~ Love; Present Among All Things

You’ve no love in your heart for any other;

Shameless in this regard

So it is; even though love covers you abundantly;

Clearly, you love none other but yourself.

But, you only hurt yourself in this tyranny

Destroying your chance for home, hearth and life thereafter,

As you close the door of legacy’s gate.

When your hands and heart should be fixated to prop the gates open wide.

Amend your indignation; and set free the sentinel barriers that blockade my hearts scrutiny.

Wherein should hate try succeed; where only love can win?

Be alive and lovely as thy beautiful face,

At the very least be benign to yourself

By having a child out of love for me,

Beloved life carries on in bequest; where love is present among all things.

~ j. marshon
adaptation of w. shakespeare sonnet 10
