O Love, How Ardent Be

by Skyfire   Oct 23, 2009


O Love, how ardent be
the words with which I would woo thee!
Consumed within by flames of love,
--of hell? Or fire from heav'n above?
O Love, wilt thou devour me whole?
Hear! Let thy torrents cease to flow!
How to win I cannot tell
Prithee, wouldst thou break thy spell?
A game of words, of heart, of soul
All I'll give, and yet unknownst
to me 'tis how is played this war
But on I'm drawn, and yet play more.

**My Shakespeare class is corrupting my life.**

    You have quite the variety of vocabulary! i'm pleased and amused to see them used, a very well done job. however, in some places your variety of vocabulary seemed very verbose, though it did make for a very enjoyable read.

    ha, i sound like V from V for Vendetta, with all my v words!
