Sonnet Sundays: A Rare and Precious Rose

Fatigued by the bombardment of the world’s lies Seeking refuge in the green fields of your eyes When we’re apart, I dream of only one place Without a doubt, it's found in your warm embrace Our destiny was definitely not fate Deep in my heart, I knew you were my soulmate It’s very rare that I have cried in my life But I did when you walked down to be my wife Overtaken by the sight of your beauty To love you forever, my only duty I’ll never give you reason for disbelief No one is worthy to cause you such grief Looking to the future instead of the past Only to love you until I breathe my last Eternally grateful, I’m the one you chose You're like a rare and precious rose
