Love, Passion, Purpose (sonnet form)

You are significantly far away,
And yet you are so faithful to my heart.
Would you restrain my spirit's disarray?
And keep my mind from falling far apart?

Is actu'lly our spirit torn asunder?
I know we are not always close together,
Inside it brews a heartbeat loud as thunder.
I'd walk a thousand leagues in beastly weather.

I know these facts shan't cause me any pain,
I hear your voice, a sonnet in my mind.
You are so beautiful, 'tis hard t' abstain.
This maxim does me torture of a kind.

My heart so burns, intensity like fire,
The bonds we share, superior desire.


So much thinking... not just emotional thinking though, like smart thinking. First this was just some emotions about love that i wrote as an unorganized free-form poem. then, i got an assignment to write a sonnet from my teacher. so i sat there, thinking of what to write about. I was just sitting there... for a couple hours before i said, "hey! why not tranform one of my own poems into a sonnet? Genius! that way I can see what my thoughts look like when they're organized Shakespeare style!" Maybe i didn't exactly sound like that, but you get the picture. and plus it would sound better to the person it was intended for. Yeah, it was home work, but If I hadn't received this assignment, my poem would lack that Shakespeare spice... wtvr.
As for my Sonnet,
I got an A-... gosh.
i know it's not bad,
but i was just so into this project, and excited.
I'm cool with the grade i got.

Fight me like a man!

May 9, 2007

All these years you've been hiding

Deep within my thoughts, you've been abiding

You're a liar, deceiver, and you're part of me

I'm going through my journey until I am set free

From your tyranny attempt over my life

I though I could trust myself,

I guess I was wrong

Why don't you listen to what I say?

All you do is fight and wrestle with thoughts

Roaring like a lion, but God's word will keep you at bay

You see a wound and take out the blood clots

You need a new trick

You'll never hurt me

My Lord will tame you

My Lord will convert you

So my life will be made Holy

And His purpose will bee fulfilled

Amen

Should've been Blue

It was right in front of me
Why couldn't I see it?
Blinded by teenage love
Or was it teenage hormones?

I pursued it so passionately
With what I though was right
That's exactly the problem
"With what I thought"

It should've bee "what God thought"
I was too naive to notice
But some things must come to pass
If I ever want to learn

Help me help her, O Lord
I don't want to lose sight
Of my original assignment
With you, all things are possible

I still have a Hope
Your Will still yearns
In the core of my spirit
Make me your Servant
Amen


...damn it...
