Sonnet #339 “Ether”
By David Palmer
31-January, 2017
Renton, Washington
A Byron Sonnet
Breathing in emotional helium
Has made my spirit blithesome and buoyant
Skipping across these clouds of Joy, present
In orbit 'round your love. Lights of Belgium
Visible in my space, Byzantium,
Great city, not even more exotic
Your words bind me, blind me in myopic
Vision. Thoughts of you fill my cranium.
My voice pitched high, two octaves at least,
I won't forsake the liqueur of your love
Sonnets of praise to you shall never cease
Passion encases this heart like a glove
My Queen, in her radiant beauty speaks peace
To my soul floating in ether above.
