Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 67

I shall not speak of sadness in her name
Of a love lost when all I feel is love
For love does not die, it goes on the same
Yet she is lost to this world, that I know
But do I have the right to love her still
To remember the gazes, she would show
With just enough attention to my will
She understood she set my heart aglow
Her eyes so much purer than mine could see
That our love was more than a sweethearts’ game
And my heart was always hers to speak of
That look reserved for me alone until
My aching heart was forced to let her go
On the wings of love she’s forever free
To reside in peace where the angels be
