Sonnet - 96 Poem by Xavier Mandreza

At last these Twinned Minds share their Joy's Exchange
Then allow Broken Hearts to Live-on and Breathe
Which History their Love's Document arrange
And purge Burned Secrets and Black Popes relieve
For both their Empowerments as Challenges fare,
Each in their Tigers their Bleeding Stripes survive:
One the Father's Loss at his Weaning Prime spare;
The Other by Lords urge his Pink Noose revive
Now by the Twenty-first their Symbol endure
Live as Kingdom and Colony unite
The Dream still Smokes the Rainbow's Banded Pure
And Conquered these Demons by Righteous despite.
Still blemished for you. Though admit my Sins,
Slowly brush these Bubbles polluting my Fins.
