Sonnet number 2
This Friday was our 3 year anniversary, and (while a few days late) I am keeping my word. Here is the next installment in the sonnet cycle for Stephanie and myself! 2: My only Angel brought me from the sea And bore me to an island bright and fair. I searched and sought to find her there with me But never could I find her tender care. No more left to drown on dark’ning water, I set to build an altar on the beach. In vain I’d hoped she’d see the shells I brought her But no one came, she seemed just out of reach. I cried “My love, please come and stay awhile. “I’ll make a castle from this foreign land.” There was no answer, I was sure in exile. She’d gone, and left me stranded on the strand. But hope had stayed, and from the sky she came; My only Angel, calling out my name.
