Sonnet

Spenserian  14-lined poem  written in iambic pentameter  ababbcbccdcdee rhyme scheme

To be in heaven for one more moment

With my sweetest angel of desire.
To be fused in his wings on an ascent
From reality and earthly ire.
I long to flee the eternal fire
That blazes and combusts deep within me…
And get lost in his orbs of sapphi re
And find my wand’ring soul where it should be -
On a still cloud on the edge of the sea
Where I escape the cold, incessant rain…
A place where I can finally run free,
Where passion and unconditional love reigns.
Oh, how I long to lie in paradise
With my wondrous angel, my guiding light.
