Seraph (sonnet)

poem by: Martyn Grindrod
Written on Mar 12, 2017


Oh Seraph loving celestial being

Through clouds you tiptoed ,finger playing harp strings 

Long and short stroking , affecting my heartstrings 

Fine looking maiden with bejewelled eyes

Porcelain skinned , golden trusses i espied



(Alas you stole my heart with no thought shown
Ripping shred from shred torn as if your own )


Alive with grace she strode dignity in dance

My heart did pound as i await her advance

Feverish sweat I did perspire should she pass

I caught her eye she welcomed me at last 
 
She slid beside loving with tender blithe

I write this sonnet for you my darling 

Oh Seraph loving celestial being 



thank you
My first attempt at a Sonnet complete with Volta
