(Sonnet #13)
Merry is my heart when you’re by my side
Cherry are my cheeks with your hand in mine
Happy I feel when words to you I write
Marry we will, we’ll sip a wine divine
Our souls are moulded from the same stardust
Soulmates we are in the great book of fate
Tied are our hearts by an invincible trust
Love defeats time, love conquers, love prevails
Tell your sweet eyes that go through this poem
I’ve hidden between the lines your message
A thousand longing words to you, my man
Ten thousand hugs, kisses and homage
To your heart that beats in mine I whisper:
Happily we shall live ever after
