Calloused heart, fear not my advances please,
Harm, no harm shalt ever I impart.
Wouldst I have journeyed o’er these seven seas,
Courting thee in earnest right from the start.
My solemn promise to thee I offer, lest I die,
Taking thy hand within mine.
A chance I do ask that you givest love a try,
Lest I return to the seas and her watery brine.
Thou hast been injured, I knowest this for sure,
Sympathies assuredly do I give.
Purest of love doth I prescribe as the cure,
I swearest for as long as I live.
Never shalt this heart ever part they fragile side, this I do promise to thee.
Affection do I pledge and swearth not to hide, devoted to thee for eternity.

Dom DiFrancesco 
I’m about to tell you something you already know: You are GIFTED!
Thank you very much for you kind praise, I’m honored that you think that to be true, but I really am nothing but a work in progress. ::)
Ah! Humility in motion 🙂
Humility is indeed a good thing, thank you so much. 🙂
Wonderful Dom!
I ❤ this! Very good!!
Thank you very much Carol. 🙂
Like a knight to his lady fair 🙂
Tis true. 🙂
Wow! This is a masterpiece! Took me “there” completely.
I’m very glad that you liked it, it’s so nice of you to say.
Beautifully written sonnet, perfect in meter and emotionally moving in message.
Dom, have a wonderful New year!
