More Shakespeare's Sonnets
By Fox-Trot-9
Sonnet 61: Fair Youth
(Guilt 10)
Enwrapped in shame as gloom enwraps the night,
I lurk and caper through this hallow land
Of many a strange and melancholy sight,
Mingling with kindred shades that form a band
Around the outskirts of my former station;
Alas, how can I plead my inquest when
My guilt is present in the hesitation
To meet the gaze of other blameless men?
T' would be a crime itself to seek advice,
Knowing my case has ended in conviction;
I've fallen by the coital touch of vice;
My world has changed upon my own eviction
From all the things I've loved, admired, embraced,
Only to be condemned, despised, disgraced.
(To be continued...)
A/N: Here's the next installment to the collection... I've managed to write three more today, in addition to the one I mentioned in the last installment, so expect three more after this one... Read, ponder, be amazed... ( ^_^ )
