620. In remembrance of my being

SONNET 620

By JH Sayyar

In remembrance of my being
O love your heart never to burn
Again to childhood I am fleeing
Today mine tomorrow your turn!
Youth burns like a candle bit by bit
Drops of the candle bottom years
In stopping youth fails our poor wit
At last I find life nothing but tears
Let me live alone with my dreams
They keep me ever young in old age
When I think of your lip’s beams
I have capture all in the line-cage

Look in the glass; you do look old!
Look into my eyes; young and bold
