Triple triolet

Thou knowest that I love thee well
I never tire of telling thee
...

A brilliant man a polymath
but nonetheless a psychopath
Who thought he had the right to kill.
...

An optimistic pessimist.
An oxymoron without doubt
and yet such crazy thoughts persist.
Something for me to think about.
...

I do.
She said and so did I

We wed,
...

I must pursue my endless quest.
My destination is unknown
Although the path is overgrown
I have no choice I must go on.
...

How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at loves beginning
When two mutual hearts are sighing
for the knot there’s no untying
...

Tribute to O.Goldsmith

When a lovely woman stoops to folly
and finds too late that men betray.
...

There is a garden where the sun
reflects from rough cast whitewashed walls.
Close by the quiet river runs
here you can hear the soft bird calls.
...

The sea lies millpond calm and still, obedient to the Goddess’ will.
She has decreed it must be so and thus the ocean far below.
Represses its own urgent needs and to the Goddess’ will accedes.
Its gleaming surface satin smooth. It has no choice to tell the truth
...

The frosted fields are lying fallow.
The frozen ground will not allow
free passage to the farmers plough
