Part VI. Accepting

To Reject this Heaven would be to Live in Hell

Shakespeare's Sonnet CXXIX → Transbliterated (154)

Shakespeare

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
Is lust in action: and till action, lust
Is perjur’d, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
Enjoy’d no sooner but despised straight;
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
Past reason hated, as a swallow’d bait,
On purpose laid to make the taker mad:
Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest, to have extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe;
Before, a joy propos’d; behind a dream.
    All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
    To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.

Transbliteration

One taste of your soul makes me jealous
	The luxury of your lust
	The lustfulness of your actions
	The actions of your luxury

	I would be
		A liar
				An Assassin
				A Murderer
					Filled with guilt
				A savage
					RaDiCaL
					Extremist
						Rude cruel and untrusted
			Before I was satisfied
		Despised
			Rather than still stiff
		Pursued for my past
			Despite its logic
		Hated for my present
			Regardless of who's swallowed it
If you did not make me wild
	Wild to pursue
		To possess you so

	Having you
		Seeking some other height
There is no other flavor to taste
	No trial to try
	No affliction to cure


	Before
		The joys proposed
			Would have been a dream
		I'd have been oblivious
			To any world that realized them
	But now
To reject this heaven
Would be to live in hell
