A Clare Sonnet
Life’s a battlefield of guns and roses;
One can live or die where hope reposes.
Only love gives after death a rebirth
Like a magic kiss gives a moment of mirth.
Life is just an insignificant tale,
A sea across which we’re condemned to sail.
So many waves playing rash games with us
That we cannot ignore and be bruised thus.
A breezy wind may send us to the shore,
Helping us quiver our wings more and more.
We’re here as stupid actors of a play,
Who like jesting and praising through the bay.
Life lies in death, so does death lie in life;
Our deeds shall purpose either peace or strife.
