Sonnet 35 - The Dark Side of the Moon

Sonnet 35 - The Dark Side of the Moon

Grief besieges thou actions… but let not:

For even the most beautiful rose has its thorn and most breathtaking waterfall’s end is mud;

Clouds block the radiance of sunshine and eclipses blacken the night’s most radiant moon,

And repugnant bug, worm and insect invade the sweetest flower and fruit.

Everyone makes mistakes; and I am no exception to the rule,

In pleading, professing and attempts to make it right and true,

I fail to desperate fault,

Seeking and searching forgiveness for sins past, present and indefinite;

Amiss you’re beauty and inappropriate transgression; I stand in unison -

Advocating alongside adversary -

Everything I ever thought true and right; I turn against and seek lawful plea:

My warring heart is torn apart by crippling love and hate for you

An accomplice to you in this pain

My heart cries in thought of you - in grief of your selfish unfaithfulness to love me alike.
