Sonnet For Melody

Shall I remind you every waking day,

That I relinquish all the world combined?

To see your eyes aglow I'd give away,

My own, for hearts are never going blind.

*

Sometimes you doubt that I will keep you near.

Yet, here I am begging for you to be.

My queen of heart and soul, my one sincere,

Light of my life, and death is cheap for thee.

*

By you the sun is hiding in the sky,

For its sunbeam is jealous of your grace.

When your lips curve the moon is hiding shy,

Of your pureness, and your cherubic face.

*

The sun and moon shall hold a meaning new,

When you decide to say 'I love you too.'
