Poetry And Short Stories Anthology

Sonnet 1

How can I show my whole love for thee?
When love is like a poison with no cure.
Your eyes fill me with a sense of beauty
Sometimes love is false, but with you it's pure.

Your visage, akin to Venus, is divine,
With your porc'lain face and rosy lips
And with your sorrel coloured eyes of thine
Your infinite beauty none can eclipse

Like evergreen your beauty shall not fade
Your smile is a tonic for tired eyes
When I met you, better my life was made
My feelings for you are buried 'neath lies

I wish you were closer than a close friend
And I know my love for you will never end

(Sorry for the inconsistencies in the rhyme scheme, this is my first one, hope you like it!)
