Shall I compare thee to a winter's night?
Thou art far darker and more cold.
Winter nights oft are long and bereft of light
and slippery roads lead to deaths untold.
Icy winds are another frightful thing,
when gray skies wrap us in a frigid shroud,
but at least we're assured of coming spring
when the warm sun will again shine proud.
But thy cold touch creates an open sore,
such that time and distance can never heal,
......
With great disturbance, I hear it said
My story doth much to entertain,
'Tis light and with a happy end,
In short, 'tis thought a comedy!
Dost thou laugh to see a shrew?
Indeed, I pray thee, what is a shrew?
What am I that I be so named?
'Tis said I am froward and I vow 'tis true–
But for a man to be so bold is not a fault.
......
A sweet quick quiet kiss,
enough to show that I love.
I long for you in a state of bliss,
Stars in your eyes like that sky above.
How can one have such impact?
Your soul intervenes with mine.
Love like this is as abstract,
Oh, your love so divine.
