The best Love Poems on the internet.
Sonnet 11 by Thomas Lodge
My frail and earthly bark, by reason's guide, Which holds the helm, whilst will doth wield the sail, By my desires, the winds of bad betide, Hath sailed these wordly seas with small avail, Vain objects serve for dreadful rocks to quial My brittle boat from haven of life that flies To haunt the sea of mundane miseries. My soul that draws impressions from above And views my course, and sees the winds aspire, Bids reason watch to 'scape the shoals of love; But lawless will enflamed with endless ire Doth steer empoop, whilst reason doth retire. The streams increase; love's waves my bark do fill; Thus are they wracked that guide their course by will.
