S.A. GRIFFIN

Variations On Sonnet of Shakespeare

it is impossible for me to find fault in the
union of two souls possessed of true faith

love is false that seeks change or
rebellion

no,
for love is constant and
true to it's course

love never falls victim to
temptation
and is the guiding light in the
darkness of every wandering soul

love is immeasurable
tho it is often the subject of scrutiny and
speculation

love does not fade like the color in rosy
cheeks and lips robbed by the passing of
time

love that is forged by the first few moments faith
is faultless
eternal

if I am wrong and
proved so

then I am a liar and
incapable of love
