Sonnet 44: Oh, With These My Eyes I View Thee With Love Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 44: Oh, With These My Eyes I View Thee With Love

Rating: 5.0


My sight blinded with love is indeed true
Somebody did give cupid a big shove
And arrows fired turned old love to new.
‘Tis my fair maiden that my love now dotes
And tarries such with a light hearted flair
If not, then love is well that love denotes
With all her sweet charms and her long blonde hair.
But how can this love remain true and fresh
With everything life’s tempests has to throw
That can burn deeply within our sore flesh,
Sweet love needs all the help for it to grow.
When eyes and hearts agree love is not blind
And true love that overlooks faults is kind.

Love that overlooks faults is true love! So you are struck with the arrow of Cupid! Does it pain?

Love must be kind. Cupid should always be active - no vacation please. Another lovely sonnet.

The couplet reminds me of Shakespeare's famous sonnet: Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds! ! ! a rich sonnet! ! !
