[title] => The Dragon Wept - A Sonnet for Dracula
[time] => 2007-06-08 12:10:09
[hometext] => My first , and probably less than perfect , attempt at a sonnet. Based around Bram Stoker's Dracula which to me is the greatest love story ever. Inspired by my good friend.
[bodytext] =>
***
'Tis I in darkness whom now doth beckon.
'Pon cold of night roaming , a feral thirst.
My call ; a howl like wolves who threaten
the lambs who walk my woods accursed.
Relent , Lord , and give me mine lover.
Untill she comes I fear for Thy brethren.
You stold her whilst I fought for thee Father.
Undead , I war against Thee forever.
Behold the light of the Nazarene glows.
The Dragon weeps in ethereal rain.
Returned ; she walks through the heavenly snow.
Her eyes hath taught me forgiveness again.
Alas , she says , He hath granted reprieve
because you have fought Him for love of me.

A gorgeous first attempt, cheri. As always... leaving me breathless, speechless, and heartless... Such a divine love story will steal the hearts of many. Thank you... for being such an inspiration to me, and undoubtedly, many others. Never stop. It would be a painful tragedy. Love and peace.
