The Writer
O strangest hand which under my name penned,
What I would give to comprehend thy heart.
For though I felt the motions of thy wend,
The motive feeding they, only in part.
O eerie eyes upon the page were fixed,
What I would film of thee to see within.
For though thy film supreme by mem'ry nixed,
A greater sight must lie somewhere therein.
O brain bizarre which calculates the cost
Of love that shapen be into a tome,
Through eyes to hand to paper firm embossed,
Ensuring faithfully soul to it's home:
What I would give to know greater than thee!
That drives it all in endless ecstasy.
The Sailor
When from the ecstasy of sleep emerged
Into the dark morass of densest world,
I rise into awareness humbly surged
Into the mission mine completely hurled.
When through the chaos of the world embarked
I navigate the eddies of the stream,
Along the way the boulders rightly harked
Did sink out of my sight as just a dream.
When pausing as the passing of the states
Do churn and froth to ravage mind and flesh,
I seek the well within which fully sates
and heals embroilment to soul refresh.
What wonder thou bestows along my life,
Through wake and sleeping both dissolving strife.

You did it again @d-pend. I'm afraid to write in old English but this is totally alive. I can see two worlds meeting here. But I would like to see a third stanza where the writer and sailor become one.

Hi @mineopoly. Thanks for the comment. I used to write sonnets a while ago, maybe 6 months. I thought it was time to revisit them. They're fun and quite challenging!
