Sonnet

Oh, beautiful is the morning today
So I watch you wake slowly to the light
And all I could want is that you will stay
Even if it is only for one more night

Warm sunlight slants across the quilted bed
Quiet mummers escaping your soft lips
I would rather be one hundred times dead
Than never be felt by your fingertips

How lucky am I to be here with you
Open your gorgeous eyes and you will see
We shall never part if you only knew
You are my world, how much you mean to me

We can replicate tonight's ecstasy
If you say yes and spend your life with me


This was a sonnet I wrote for my Creative Writing class. Extremely frustrating, it took me 4 hours. Each line should be 10 syllables long.
