Ever love to do something, but get fed up with doing it? I love to write; it's a passion of mine. Yet, some days it's like pulling teeth. I enjoy writing. I have all these ideas floating around my head, and the vast majority of them (about 99%) get lost in the abyss of delay that I call my mind. I think if I could actually put them on paper as soon as they surface - I would probably win a Pulitzer, but they vanish almost as quickly as they appear. It's discouraging. Then take lack of ambition and drive, and throw them into the mix and you have one undetermined, lazy writer here! Ha! Hmmmmm. I guess this could be a New Year's resolution for me: more determination and drive = an even better writer! There you have it.....that's my resolution. To be more efficient, more aware and more determined! 

Here is a couple of Sonnets that I am actually very happy with the outcome:

Consummation

Doth my burning desire feel but naught?
Then allow me to beseech this query.
Whence our love is emotionally taut,
thou empty eyes are callous and weary.
Canst my dearest reprove this revulsion?
While apart, my shattered heart yet beats.
Each aching impel is a stout expulsion.
Henceforth, my laden lover does retreat.
Forgive me love, I haven’t decided,
whither my heart tis' in one true accord.
Wilt thou lend me a moment provided,
to decide if I am rightly aboard.
True love shouldn’t be this complicated,
so, maybe we should have consummated?


AND

 Nameless

They whist the battle time was drawing near,
courageous men, neither black nor white,
with a swoop of their bunk, and battle gear,
nameless fighters disappear into night.
Wilt thou speak a prayer for the soldier?
And to whither they shalt return or not.
Wilt they appear thou stronger and bolder,
Or shalt they forget the battles they fought?
Overmanny hath hidden in torment,
And henceforth choose a sullen life recluse,
I trow not of battle scars, or extent,
this bold warrior not willing to lose.
Forget naught the Soldier or what he gave,
place his boots and his dog tags at his grave.


I hope you enjoy them!
