Sonnet for the Fate of Love

The Stars cannot come out tonight to play
because I hold them like you in my sight.
This lover knows the righteous path of day-
but for my soul: I flee the wretched light.
What comes for man that makes him choose a path?
Does he or He choose what he wants of life?
or in such choice does he incur his wrath?
Free will was ours when Adam chose our strife.
My love: My life! I know you in my eyes
but I can always feel you in my heart-
the beating soul but spills these words reprised
Iambs devoted to you from my start.
So happy I am sure to be with you
I write these words to spell this noble truth.

Marriage Into Heaven

Three pairs of wings spread out before me
three faces bore into me like an invisible haunting
"I've looked upon your deeds," said he,
"and I have found you wanting."

"Will you accept the one true god?
Will you receive his son?"
With heart cleaved open, I wept, "I do!"
and thus, the deed, was done.
