Speak truly if you deem to speak of love
No falsehood should the gentle soul endure
Nor be deceived by words designed to move
If such are rendered by a heart impure

Fantastic, Valerie. love it. You follow these strict rules of sonnet poetry and it flows so well. It seems so natural. Most of all still the meaning of the poem is excellent. Lying to a loved one is very mch like lying to oneself. Truth is all imporant in any loving relationship. You know, Val, sonnet is italian for little song. I think this s a superb sonnet, a great little song.

The last two lines proclaim the enduring nature of true love! Love is not something conquered through deceit or conceit, but rendered through trust and fondness! A great poem!

The truth is true love, you can only hear the truth from the one you truly love. A fantastic poem.

What hope has truth to steadily mature When loves emerges fresh childishly and green Made mad by toxins not previously explored Sown by strangers hands peevishly unclean; In sun soaked rapture it deceptively perceives It endures both in hurricane and drought, Coldly it’s captured, by husbandry deceived It alternates betwixt blind certainty and rout; What heart knows peace in such change of seasons That the eye can gage the fruits of loving labors, Oh a heart can have little faith in reason When it’s wages are reckoned up so poor; Oh truth in love is mangled at first sprout, And bitter tastes the fruit that’s ripe with doubt.

Again the gentle flow of your rhythms delivers a universal and sage truth about love, honesty and sincerity that endears and endures. It is simple the truth that escapes so many. A beautiful poem.
