Ever so often you're transcendental
My eyes frequently don't believe the sight.
It tends to be some what detrimental;
Ha! The feeling is worth the risky height.

Shinning in my heart as an untamed fire
Heating, fueling my core to maximum,
Exploding me to always get higher;
One day, my Love, I hope you will fathom.

But all that these are, are shots in the dark
For I fear the spell I had is now gone,
Since I see no signs that you hold my mark.
Yet it's always darkest before the dawn.

And I could not ever give up on hope.
I pray each day that I may be your dope.

This sonnet is super-duper old. But I felt I should put it up here anyway. I hope you like it, please don't judge to harshly, it was written a while ago.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
