Sonnets by Tyler Jones
Sonnet 1

For me this is quite a tough assignment The words escape my mind. How does it feel? Those times of delight and times of lament It can drive some mad or make a man kneel. It has been some time since I last felt love Yet no sum of time could erase that craze. A gift abused become unworthy of Inept to express thoughts that set ablaze. So we write these thoughts down, try to make sense, Finding that none compare to that wonder, Which makes our words perfect and more intense The baffled heart crying out like thunder. Love is abstract, understood, not defined, So choose your words wisely but unconfined.

Sonnet 2

Your kiss is sweet and truly comforting I require it on a daily basis I recall craving it when courting I dare not kiss any others faces Our first was exciting, we both nervous I noticed you biting your bottom lip Your lips were inviting, and in service There was no fighting in each other’s grip Although it has become more a routine The thrill is not gone, I still feel that heat When in kiss I never feel more serene Truly comforted and as I said sweet We kiss when we greet, of course when we leave I’m not down with PDA, PLEASE BELIEVE!

Sonnet 3

Oh Astro Phil, I’m glad you have moved on You’re in the stars as your name indicates Find a new love/wife and begin to spawn As she’s done, which her action vindicates She gave you her heart but just as a friend It’s not possible for you to be more A sad social rule that should be amend For you should be with the one you adore But this is our unfortunate problem Your strong feelings for her were not returned Love not strong enough for her to succumb She loves you but you are not who she yearned I praise your passion but this was a fling The remedy’s to move on, stop weeping

Sonnet 4

You wonder how it could be that I’m free, I’m funny, I’m cute, among others, sweet. Such flattering remarks, others agree, I treat women right and don’t think to cheat. Though there must be a problem, a reason A charming bachelor who all say is great Has gone countless season after season Single and unable to get a date. But it is simple, I detect my flaw. I am the friend type, the one you can trust. I should treat her like crap then just withdraw Or flirt with countless and act out of lust. You’re right, that’s not me, I can’t be a jerk, I don’t know how, I merely wink and smirk.

Sonnet 5

You are my everything, my one true love Your touch and your smell sends chills up my spine The angel I asked for, sent from above I am proud to be yours and proud you’re mine I gave you everything, gave you my heart I fought with the outcome, it hurt so bad We could not make it work, we fell apart I cried from thoughts of you and times we had But I can see now it was for the best I had to forget all the pain and hate No more worries of funds and time invest It was not our choice, it was up to fate The fact is we were dreadful, this is true But I’ll never forget what we went through.
