Love Sonnet

This is a Shakespearean-style love sonnet I had to write for English.

The hour of loneliness is now deceased

Only bliss and serenity remain

Strange how love is both a powerful beast

And a meek being, so hard to obtain

It’s action, emotion, and state of mind

That often starts as shy hesitation

But both destined parties will quickly find

Intense overwhelming fascination

Leaders of the world may fall and crumble

The sun itself may breathe its final breath

Men may fall from pride, however humble

But even if all else on earth sees death

Starry-eyed couples see just each other

Narcotized by love, they will not suffer
