Analysis of Forever Love (Shakespearean Style)
The moon hath one dark evening shone
Upon thine sight as such to render
For that alas twas starlight prone
What night hath shown me of its splendor
Flaxen hair doth don to trace
Reflecting moonlight upon her face
Smile my pretty and I shall cry
Should thee to bid thy last goodbye
Kiss me, kiss me, dear, sweet child
For love doth breach beyond the sky
With eyes so blue such to beguile
Of this our fate ne’er to belie
As such to settle upon bent knee
In awe of beauty upon this night
Of starry skies that all might see
Of beauty dwelt upon my sight
Drawn I be of she her ways
Thus extend such tender grace
To love beyond time’s finite days
Beyond this time, beyond this place
Evermore thou art thy love eternal
Transcendent bliss mere flecks of time
A strident yearning of we its journal
Hence this rapture be ours sublime

About this poem
This was last month's contest entry that was apparently just horrific enough to be completely ignored. LoL As the title says, this is about a man who loves a woman. :-p
