Sonnet 546

On By Loubert S SuddabyIn PoemsLeave a comment
There is no greater gift than that we share
That magic bond so often named as love,
Life’s grand elation yet beyond compare
Whose bumptious shows but little truth can prove.
Love as a sentiment needs no display—
Why pledge or strive for what already is?
For truth is not made true by what we say,
Bold proof of love more how we think and live.
Thus rarely do I say I love you so
And seldom do you say you love but me;
Love’s strength is not a brassy outward show,
But is an essence we both live and breathe.
No boastful act can ever love apprise;
It dwells in hearts and speaks through silent eyes.

Sonnet 545

On By Loubert S SuddabyIn PoemsLeave a comment
What line of mine did waken to the mind
A gentle thought where fondness might soon dwell
To so ignite a placid heart in rhyme
That it persuade flushed lips of love to tell?
Perhaps a simple chord sparked thoughts of me,
A murmured tune which fanned a gentle flame
That gave forth light whereby your soul might see
A common face now blazed by flare of fame.
I do confess my words were pure design
To fletch of Cupid’s shaft unerring flight
There striking fire within that heart sublime
That it might ever glow in ardor’s light.
And yes—in sweetest hope I did conspire
To guide in verse that bolt of pure desire.
