'Spenserian' Love Sonnet #579




Love Sonnet #579

Moonlit lips that smile in a quiet crescent,
My heart beats to the eclipse of her eyes:
Down to her soul's blooming, my descent;
Spring spirit, fathoms of streams and verdant sighs.
Each glance as autumn equinox in clear skies,
Perfumed clouds pass time to summers heat,
High Heaven of my desire, my love soars, flies
Surrender to the echo of her voice; a swift defeat.
Her face in every lake, on each storm-swept street
My passions forged in visions high and low,
The bounty of my harvest; acres of golden wheat...
In secret whispers my adoration flows.
She: my sun, moon, Goddess of sky and season...

Not to love her sublime steps is unreasonable treason.
