Of mind. You get older if you allow
Yourself to do that evil thing, but wait--
You're really getting better. Only now
You have the wisdom youth can never know.
And beauty? It's a transitory thing,
Perceived as a treasure by those who go
To awful lengths to seek the golden ring
Of artificial youth. But I, who live
A wondrous life, a gift from one who sees
What lies beneath, know true beauty. I give
To you a peaceful respite beneath trees
That worship longevity. May this prove
To you that what I treasure is your love.

"I give to you a peaceful respite beneath trees that worship longevity."
Thanks for the read!
champagne1982over 15 years agoI enjoy your sonnets. They're so colourful and expressive. You are gaining such a good understanding of the form that your enjambments add to the meter and flow close to flawlessly and your themes compliment the formula beautifully. Thanks for sharing your poems.
