Sonnet 84: Joys Of Love Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 84: Joys Of Love

Rating: 4.4


Man has not lived until he has been loved
His mighty works and good deeds count as nought.
Any man without love needs to be shoved
Into the bosom of love as he ought.

No man is an island; he has a heart,
And without love he is a clanging gong
Because love makes him play the lovers part,
His heart will burst into a lover’s song.

A heart full of love makes the world go round
And love greets each day with a fine blessing
For there is no sweeter or finer sound
Than a lover’s kiss and deep caressing.

True love is indeed nature’s sweetest charm
For it sooths the heart and makes all things calm.
