For perusing, love, acknowledge my appreciation
That you, this, my undertaking commendable find.
Uprightness whenever needed, as my concern,
The prize may yet present the looking through the mind.
A look may consider it harsh and crude,
Its strip may some unripe looks show,
Yet, whenever tasted past the outside tone,
Liberal perusers may yet think that it's sweet.
Neither that you should this sonnet treasure
Nor do I ask that you should despise mask.
Do as you will and satisfy your relaxation,
However, ask, the sections you ought not to reexamine.
If you should discover numerous stanza dark,
Before your stamp of judgment put,
If you however stop, between the lines, investigate,
Perchance you think that it's reasonable and right for sure.
Betimes you'll discover markers for documentation
Applied on some language of subtler variety,
Counsel the references for clarification,
Renders the significance more clear as you read.
What's more, here I stop, a virtuoso of a peruser,
In case my destiny may acquire
Nor clichés make my stanzas more clear,
Modifications can self-rout submit.
If I should wander from my musings examine
Those long periods of adoration, past and profoundly grieved,
Be it dark, could I a word uncover
Aside from my love, in my heart enthroned?
The similar love did consistently incite
Wild misgivings that she may sell out
Our adoration sold out, perforce persevere through the burden
Of destiny to soak in perpetual hopelessness.
Could I have the solidarity to such scrutiny defer
Such strong records of broken sentiment:
Her careful attention, to me she gave,
Which I paid for with persistence.
Sweet days are gone, those long periods of ecstasy packed,
With nothing left save love's unquenched fire;
Inside my heart will very much want to resonate
Until this spirit from a cadaver will resign.
Now that I wind up in state desolate
I call the solidarity to reverse my sorrow,
In remembering days when love was conceived,
Else in your picture track down, melancholy's sweet alleviation.
That picture which my affection's pencil writ,
In my entire being do I imprint;
The fortune which to me adored hand down,
With me stays until past the grave.
This similar soul did regularly dismiss
Furthermore, falter at regions you would visit:
At the Beata stream made a stay,
At Hilo shallows, numerous visits are spent.
My memory frequently would look for
Our meeting underneath the mango branch:
You woulda mango pack endeavor to pick;
While I, by you, a Hedonist enow!
When you with genuine sickness remained behind,
My being was diminished to vulnerable moans.
To paradise's effortlessness my pulse I transferred,
Your room is considered prized heaven.
With my own, I pampered with strokes
Effects you had on the stone stage shore
Of the Makati which we both love
Your picture did I love evermore.
There regularly returned in a quest for a few
Illusive impulses of cheerful bygone eras:
A bather trusts that the sprinkle will come
Yet, to the water heads, in case of shower refrains.
I hear it still, your words resound:
"Full three days now, each other we've not seen",
What's more, my answer to you without lament:
"For every, how often pre-arranged we've been!"
Indeed, there's not a stone that is left unturned
Agonizing on the destiny of sweet satisfaction blurred.
"Poor me!" so moaning, myself I hated
Heavy tears with mine groan fell.
Where is my love, the daylight of my heart?
For what reason did we neglect to support our sentiment?
Whither the days when life and soul were part
Of that paradise generated of her look?
I can't help thinking about why, since we are separated,
Ought not this pitiful existence of mine lapse?
Since, my love, from my heart you should withdraw
Passing's sweet alleviation is my one final craving.
Lacking the solidarity to suffering an injury
From satisfaction's abandonment, you on my force,
I dare to sing this existence of hopelessness
My refrains may my enduring discard.
A surfeit of quietness, my love, I entreat
They to hear me with ears and a receptive outlook
My dream, if oblivious and weak of discourse,
Supplicate, an award that she should your extravagance find.
Bereft might be of a lettered style
These first buds of my judiciousness juvenile,
My devotion take with resistance,
Your devoted worker does of you entreat.
Should any line thereof be considered hostile?
My modest endeavors track down a commendable pardon
That if disdain should it's understanding give
Absolution the creator, ask, without misuse.
To fun sprites of Bai Lake,
To mermaids with sweet charming voices,
My unassuming dream does her appeal make
That every one of their charms and abilities may have.
Mother Nature, hear my request:
Your lyre's tune may to my verses loan,
Verses that discuss love's desire
To rise above Time's remains through to life's end.
Dear heart, a blossom of my reflection,
My love with the initials LOVE,
May the Spirit request
Award you for your government assistance supplicates.
Amidst bleak timberland forlorn
With prickly underbrush so thickly developed,
The which so harsh as difficult to explore
Indeed, even by him who is a man of acceptance.
Huge impressive tall trees the scene's contribution,
The quality of torment, torment, and distress,
Birds sing not yet a tune so discouraging
In any event, for one with happiness intensive.
Each tree limb sports its enhancement
Of twining plants lavishly wrapped tricky
With bushy leafy foods thistles as an article of clothing
The lightest touch would mortal agony force.
