Sonnet #36
Been a while. Here it is, written today:
Ah me! ’tis long since I have put to page
The words that rule my thoughts both day and night.
Applicability wanes not with age
These words are true, though only now I write.
I once had thought I’d had a taste of love,
That what I felt had ne’er been felt before.
If that were taste, then this is far above.
This feeling that consumes me I adore.
All praise that’s e’er been given do I give.
All words that have been spoken do I speak.
All lives that have been practiced will I live.
Proclaim it thus to mighty and to meek:
All this, and more, I know, despite my youth –
This rhyme does aught but glimpse upon the truth
