We were determined to change the whole world

From rising to setting we were a pair

When clouds covered me, you stood by, fists furled  

Darkness stood no chance against your great care

Dreams were build up just to come crashing down

Plans crafted under the great old oak tree

Are now buried beneath the ancient town

I long for the days of just you and me

All we were was two lost kids having fun

No work, no worry, no wish but to live long

Looking back on all that we could’ve done

I’m stuck in the rearview of this life’s song

And yet when I look at you by my side

I treasure these memories with my bride

To drink in the deep festival's delights.

I suffered the misfortune of you being there with me,

Like I had been re-born through all our troubled nights.

So recently we'd broken bonds of love,

I doubted you had sooner still forgot;

Yet still your jealousy rose above

When our passions in each other had grown hot.

Yes, I am in his path, and he is in mine,

But his eyes somewhere else should swiftly start

For 3 long years, I left myself to pine,

For matrimonials gifts to grace my heart.

If truly you did wished to put a ring on my wedding finger,

You should have graced it with a wedding band.

How I love the way you love and cheer my name

Invading my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the day I was king.

Let me compare you to a library?

You are more giving and more forgiving.

Snow chills the berries of January,

And wintertime has the smart reliving.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your tolerant style, wit and charm.

Thinking of your discreet wit fills my days.

My love for you is the burglar alarm.

Now I must away with a discrete heart,

Remember my sweet words whilst we're apart.

A Sonnet by M. Orsborn

My empty Beach, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you roar, sting and stare,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the mighty blare.

Let me compare you to a nonmember?
You are more merry, cherry and pleasing.
Smooth winds shake the leafage of September,
And autumntime has the calm appeasing.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your almighty sand, waves and sky.
Thinking of your wary waves fills my days.
My love for you is the powerful lye.

Now I must away with a flighty heart,
Remember my white words whilst we're apart.
