The Love that Never Fails Me

Here is my attempt at a Petrarchan sonnet - don't judge me too harshly please!

Happiness surrounds me when you are near,
Joy and light-heartedness you bring to me.
On the darkest of days I see beauty,
And to contentment are turned all my fears.
Every sorrow forgotten, no more tears,
When I'm with my pleasure that is guilty.
With this, most women eagerly agree.
You are a constant friend whom I hold dear.
Chocolate you come to me in many forms
Derived from the glorious cocoa bean:
As delectable and rich candy bars,
Or into Easter bunnies you conform,
Marshmallow and graham crackers in between
My comfort, my sweet, oh chocolate, you are!


Just for kicks, I thought I'd color code this. Different colors show the rhyme scheme. Yellow/pink show the octet, while blue/green/purple identifies the sestet.

Happiness surrounds me when you are near,
Joy and light-heartedness you bring to me.
On the darkest of days I see beauty,
And to contentment are turned all my fears.
Every sorrow forgotten, no more tears,
When I'm with my pleasure that is guilty.
With this, most women eagerly agree.
You are a constant friend that I hold dear.
Chocolate you come to me in many forms
Derived from the glorious cocoa bean:
As delectable and rich candy bars,
Or into Easter bunnies you conform,
Marshmallow and graham cracker in between.
My comfort, my sweet, oh chocolate you are!
