Love Poem: Response To Sonnet 43

Response To Sonnet 43

 
Response to Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnet 43, Let Me Count The Ways A hundred years beneath the earth my love, And still, I love thee with my cold dead soul; You see, my love the soul is still quite whole, I love thee, yet you are an angel dove, Gone, gone, no longer, you reside, above. I love you forever with no control; Oh sadness, it is lonely in this hole, I am he, that you wrote love poems of. I love thee, for your sweetness always bright. I love thee, for your beauty and belief, I love thee, for each beautiful love word, I love thee, for tears falling each dark night. Oh my darling, this life on earth is brief. Are you that song above, that sweet songbird? _____________________________ February 18, 2016 Poetry/Italian Sonnet/non-metrical/Response to Sonnet 43 Copyright Protected, ID 16-758-933-0 All rights Reserved.
