Poem -
I Choose HIM! (Italian Sonnet Form)
For love of you I've pressed my body to the earth
That my inaudible voice might be heard by the sky
Seen by the sun before its power is drained dry
As you demand I yield my spiritual worth.
Your slurs expressed with barbed mirth
While berating my faith and love for the Most High!
Please stop this tirade, assay your mimicry!
Don't endanger your soul and spiritual rebirth!
I am true do not doubt my devotion and love;
For I will not renounce my place in Heaven.
Time draws near when our probity must be proven;
Tis HIS judgement we must be found innocent of!
Darling, my heart was made to love and cherish you;
Do not ask this of me for this I will not do!

Hey Tony! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments. I love to write sonnets… the English, French, Spanish, and other sonnet forms are versatile and offer the poet room for experimentation…you'll find more in my previous postings.

Chris! Thanks so much for your review. I write about relationships and there are times that the person you love requires or demands certain conditions in order to maintain the relationship. We all have so type of "belief system" even if an individual exists without one…no matter what it is if a couple can't agree ultimately the relationship is doomed.
I love to write utilizing different poetic forms…so you see more sonnets and other types as I post in the future.

Hey Cleo! Yes, gotta keep my eyes on the prize. Especially, when someone tells you that the scriptures were never meant to be believed...that it is a sort of allegorical story that contains many good suggestions for life...and that faith doesn't serve any practical purpose. I told him that since he had faith that his check would be deposited in the bank every Friday...the faith required to believe takes less than what he was using. God works with the equivalent of a mustard seed!
Blessings! val
