Untitled Sonnet

 

Untitled Sonnet

By Rainbowco

 

I will not compliment thee on fairness of complexion,

Nor, the beauty of thy silky hair, nor say of thy full lips

That they be as soft as morning dew that the red rose sips

For this, be but prattle of mealy unseasoned lad’s reflection.

On no pedestal will you stand for to do such leads to rejection

That I be so unworthy as to touch even the hem of thy slip.

I approach thee, straightforward, with strong, manly step

That thou would have knowledge of my expectations.

 

For I would have thee most human, so faintly flawed

As to be of blood, bone and sinew; changeable as weather

Stormy then calm in an eye’s blink, no milksop for me

Sharp minded as the peregrine’s beak, yet soft as its feather.

Womanly, deliciously tempestuous be the very persona I laud

For only this woman would truly love such a man as me.
