Sonnet No 1
Memories are many, my heart is full
Of gladness for the love I've found in you
Love that we manifested and forged true.
You are quite a man, both strong and gentle.
Our love is envied by watchful lovers
And mysterious to all except us.
We steadfast run the course of love and thus
You are my all in one that life offered
---
But if the veil of death covers me first
And the air of separation grows cold
And redundant things provide no recourse
Go and seek love again, as I've foretold.
It's better that you live well and be free
To love once more than be shackled to me.
