A Treasure Concealed (A Sonnet)

Smoky puffy clouds hovered around

Pungent waves engulfed thy existence

Plummeting gullible hopes to ground

Troubled waters obscured persistence.

Exploding, unnerving, dark remorse

Glanced for an anchor to float away

Behold the dazzling ripe inward source

Auspiciously holding thou at bay.

Hath saved all years those memories loved

Nourished thy soul and dissolved in thee

Wrapped by thy mother and beloved

Fear not, unshackle that warmth, foresee!

Love of all had been thy pious bridge

Cross over! Treasured faith holds that ridge.

Here is the traditional Shakespearean Sonnet with a defined meter. There are 14 lines, with three quatrains of four lines each consisting of a theme or a problem and the last two lines(couplet) resolving the problem. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Each line of this sonnet of mine contains 10 syllables.
