Shall I remind you every waking day,
That I relinquish all the world combined?
To see your eyes aglow I'd give away,
My own, for hearts are never going blind.

Sometimes you doubt that I will keep you near.
Yet, here I am begging for you to be.
My queen of heart and soul, my one sincere,
Light of my life, and death is cheap for thee.

By you the sun is hiding in the sky,
For its sunbeam is jealous of your grace.
When your lips curve the moon is hiding shy,
Of your pureness, and your cherubic face.

The sun and moon shall hold a meaning new,
When you decide to say 'I love you, too.'

A/N

This was my first attempt at writing a Shakespearean Sonnet. It was so difficult to say the least and I butchered the meter, of course, But I was proud of myself when I finished it! I felt like a real poet! Well, not me! Akram did! Because he wrote it for Melody. I only opened the door for him and let him express himself! XD

Shakespearean (English) sonnet has (three quatrains) and a (couplet). It has 10 syllables per line, and rhymes (abab cdcd efef gg)

Each of the fourteen lines of a Shakespearean sonnet is written in “iambic pentameter.” This means a line contains five iambs—two syllable pairs in which the second syllable is emphasized. (don't ask me to explain, I hardly understand it XD)
