Sonnet 32: Times Ancient Clock Etches Lines On Our Face Poem by David Wood
Sonnet 32: Times Ancient Clock Etches Lines On Our Face
Times ancient clock etches lines on our face
We are not young anymore, fresh youth’s song
Is an old tune now as we run life’s race.
And youth’s beauty have cast deep shadows long.
Now sweet heart our good health is on the wane
With hair once long and dark is going grey
We only have ourselves to keep us sane
A cold comfort that leads to cold decay.
But our love keeps the heart warm and tender
It’s grown over the years with tender bliss
Loves rapture that my heart does engender
Does make my heart leap with your tender kiss.
True love does not weary with age nor fade
It lives in the heart and is heaven made.
True love lives in the heart and is heaven made. Nice message. Beautiful sonnet.
So an interesting reversal here which I think holds true.... Stay young with love. This is a lovely romantic sentiment. Since these are sonnets I think they need to be read aloud to catch the musical nuances of the form and to see how the cadence affects the meaning. I like the images of the tender bliss and the tender kiss. The last two lines set my heart on fire! Lovely....
I like this one so much. This is the meaning of true love - physical changes not diminishing our feelings, but rather enhancing them. Well done.
True love does not weary with age nor fade It lives in the heart and is heaven made. ***************************** love is a pure feeling: : : : : : an excellent poem! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
