Let Me See Another Day

Poetry Form: Shakesperean Sonnet

To convince myself -- a mortal am I:

I add the days up in seconds of time

My heartbeats counted, I let out a sigh;

An old man I feel -- yet still in my prime

My temple abused, I kissed ev'ry day

My angels I ask -- another sun to see

To be tucked in -- by Fathe Moon I pray;

Let me live on some borrowed time I plea

My life is too short, I should not complain

The time's now -- I should converse with my muse

Reconnect with my spirit -- use my brain

Record my life's rainbows and coloured hues

Give me another day is all I ask,

So I can peel off layers of my mask.

This is really nice! A little scary to think of, but I really did enjoy reading it.

Didn't find it scary, but I can understand. I think we all want that new day to come. Again thanks for sharing.
