Love Sonnet 52 My Love Is Reigning Queen Among Roses
My love is reigning queen among roses,
Regal and prim in each and every stance,
Cleopatra looks plain when she chooses,
She is Helen of Troy held at first glance;
I pause, afraid to start a ten-year-war,
Before I dare to venture in her dreams,
Content to view her island from afar,
Although my heart with yearning madly screams;
Will Aphrodite help further my cause?
And sway the gods to guide my ship in course,
I may yet see one short godly applause,
And get assured, this love they too endorse;
.......Would Trojan Horse be fitting gift to spare?
.......The one without soldiers, empty and bare.
