Tuesday´s Sonnet.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Tuesday´s Sonnet....

Rating: 5.0


Love´s too old to know what desiring is;
my response of His Greatest Love for me
created this love for my only God´s bliss
this love for Thee, O Lord, none shall envy

my soul doth tell my heart what conscience may
there´s so much jealousy on sites like this
man is oft lying, I´ll try not betray
he´s persuading me, but I´ve God´s Bliss

jealousy comes galloping, worst wonder
came knocking at my door, devil´s thunder
I listen to God´s voice, well-known to me
surprising occurrence, no deliverance

ne´er tease someone´s heart, oh dear poet friend
I doth love God and poetry, my eternal lament

Heart and soul together carry conscience. Desiring love is too old but this is eternal as we get this love from God. Love gives responsibility and trust. Eternal poetry and God we love more and more. This is an outstanding poem of devotion towards God and declaration....10

Sylvia, the friends on this site may be envious of other friends' poetry, but not jealous. Such is not the case with the perceived enemies. Excellent sonnet.

Thank you for your visit, appreciated most, Richard. The jealousy meant here is on its correct place, it´s not what you think, so the word is on its correct place as I said here before. Thank you for your valuable comment and for your sympathetic compliment, Richard. God´s Blessings.Amen
