SONNET 277
By JH Sayyar
Black clouds, thunder and earthquake,
Swallowing waves, fire vomiting mound,
A warning to people for protection sake,
Written in the book of life I have found.
Beauty like drops but beauty not in mind,
It makes display just on the mind screen.
If it is your true love: to you more kind.
When our fearful fancy does fail in plight,
Beauty’s hand holds out time powers,
Watching time wonders sitting on height,
Sees all on earth sitting in the sea flowers
Beauty lovers fall in a mysterious plight
Think, which is mighty: beauty or time?
Time stops one day beauty lives in rime
