I wrote this a while back in English class, when we had to write a sonnet including three lines from poems by other writers. I don't want to post it in the main forums seeing as I didn't write bits of it, but still, I'm proud of it because I managed to keep to the the rhyme scheme and meter and stuff.
At first, I stood there spellbound by your eyes
And thought at last the sun had broken through
I did not listen to the heart's mute cries
The little deaths that slowly formed those new
Made clouds that hover broodingly above
We smile, our upturned lips a mask to hide
The cracks that softly weave throughout this love
For neither can submit and bury pride
And in the silence round which cyclones rage
Companionship provides a sluggish peace
My darling, I would choose a gilded cage
Be safe from loneliness, though feelings cease
And so, I kiss the wrinkle from your brow
Those eyes whose spell still holds me captive now
