Shining with the moon beams ‘round about you
Glistening tears, stars plummet from above
Your beauty overthrew me, and, I knew,
Never to behold, an unreturned love

Yet, as chance would have it, my luck had turned
For you had loved me, just as I to thee
So deeply our hearts passionately burned
Delightedly and happily lived we

My joy falling into a blind stupor
I realized not how our luck would end
Wistfully, blissfully, Shakespeare troupers
Clothed in black, your soul unable to mend

Subconsciously rubbing a lustrous ring
Waiting, waiting, when fate will cut my string

The author's comments:
This was for a Reflections entry on the topic "Beauty is..." Here's a sonnet of someone losing their love. The end is a little confusing, but the person is by their love's grave, rubbing at their wedding ring for when they too will die. It seems almost like a Shakespeare tragedy (Shakespeare troupers). I was inspired by "Annabel Lee".

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

It's funny you're asking me to read your stuff.  I actually read everything you wrote before any of my stuff was even posted. Your stuff is really cool. I have another poem that might come soon called Love Triangle, so pleaz look at it when/if it's approved!

What a great piece. It’s so understandable. You made it really easy to see where you’re coming from. I hope you keep writing, because this is really good. You should check out some of my stuff. I think you would like it.
