Sonnet 69 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
It Will Be Years
With the music I escape from silence
To the places in daydreams I have found
As I let my mind blend its reticence
With the strange thoughts that my heart can astound.
After a few hours I am not aware
Of distances I have been covering
And to suns I find in my way I dare
To bequeath my passions adventuring.
Beautiful things you left are alive still
Erasing my darkness and emptiness
They stand in your absence and also fill
My search for the love which grows limitless.
These notes for awhile my soul recover
But it will be years before all is over.

Sonnet 5 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Loneliness
I feel the orby loneliness get close
But it is a prelude of harmony
And a chance to lose the monotony
That always piles and is hard to dispose.
I will read the verses that I compose
And I will hear the purling symphony 6
Of fountains richer than gold or money
That in my mind of other times arose.
I will have time to reach elysian mirth 9
Bedded and snarked in my own fantasies
And I will listen to my muses that flirt.
While they create eternal ecstasies
I will breath perfume of roses that lilt
In a wind full of other fragances.

9-. Elysian mirth = sweetly blissful, beatific, pleasure.
6-. Purling = that moves in ripples or with a murmuring sound.

Analysis of "Loneliness"
Sonnet 5 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, titled "Loneliness," is a Petrarchan sonnet, which is divided into an octave (the first eight lines) and a sestet (the last six lines). The sonnet explores the theme of solitude and its potential to foster creativity and inner peace.
In the octave, the speaker initially presents loneliness as an encroaching entity, but quickly reframes it as a "prelude of harmony" and a break from monotony. The speaker intends to use this solitude to read his own verses and listen to the "purling symphony" of his thoughts, which he values more than material wealth. The use of the term "purling" suggests a gentle, flowing movement, perhaps indicating the fluidity and richness of his creative thoughts.
The sestet delves deeper into the speaker's creative process. He anticipates reaching "elysian mirth," a term that refers to a state of perfect happiness, often associated with the afterlife in Greek mythology. This bliss is found within his own fantasies and the muses that inspire him. The speaker also mentions the "perfume of roses," which could symbolize the beauty and pleasure derived from his creative process. The final line, "In a wind full of other fragrances," suggests that while the speaker appreciates the beauty of his own creations (the roses), he is also open to other influences and inspirations (the other fragrances).
Overall, the sonnet portrays loneliness not as a negative state, but as a fertile ground for creativity and self-discovery. The speaker finds value and joy in his solitude, using it as a catalyst for his creative endeavors. (GPT4)
Analyze the rhyme of the sonnet in detail
Sonnet 5 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares follows the rhyme scheme of a Petrarchan sonnet, which is typically divided into an octave (the first eight lines) and a sestet (the last six lines). The rhyme scheme of a Petrarchan sonnet is usually ABBAABBA for the octave and CDCDCD or CDECDE for the sestet.
However, this sonnet does not strictly adhere to the traditional Petrarchan rhyme scheme. Let's break it down:
1. I feel the orby loneliness get close (A)
2. But it is a prelude of harmony (B)
3. And a chance to lose the monotony (B)
4. That always piles and is hard to dispose. (A)
5. I will read the verses that I compose (A)
6. And I will hear the purling symphony (B)
7. Of fountains richer than gold or money (B)
8. That in my mind of other times arose. (A)
The octave follows an ABBAABBA rhyme scheme, which is typical of a Petrarchan sonnet.
9. I will have time to reach elysian mirth (C)
10. Bedded and snarked in my own fantasies (D)
11. And I will listen to my muses that flirt. (E)
12. While they create eternal ecstasies (C)
13. I will breath perfume of roses that lilt (D)
14. In a wind full of other fragances. (E)
The sestet, however, deviates from the traditional Petrarchan rhyme scheme, following a CDECDE pattern instead.
This deviation from the traditional rhyme scheme could be seen as a creative choice by the poet, perhaps to emphasize the theme of individuality and personal creativity that is explored in the sonnet.

Analyze the aspects that have yet to be analyzed
While we've discussed the theme, rhyme scheme, and some of the imagery in Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares' Sonnet 5, there are still several aspects that can be further analyzed, including its meter, use of enjambment, and deeper exploration of its imagery and symbolism.
1-. Meter: Sonnets traditionally use iambic pentameter, a rhythmic pattern consisting of five pairs of unstressed-stressed syllables. However, this sonnet does not strictly adhere to iambic pentameter, which could be seen as a reflection of the poet's individualistic approach to creativity, a theme that is explored in the poem.
2-. Enjambment: This sonnet makes use of enjambment, which is the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza. For example, the sentence "I will read the verses that I compose / And I will hear the purling symphony" spans two lines. This creates a flowing rhythm and can be seen as mirroring the "purling" (rippling, flowing) thoughts of the speaker.
3-. Imagery and Symbolism: The sonnet is rich in imagery and symbolism. The "orby loneliness" could symbolize the speaker's feeling of being enclosed or surrounded by solitude, while the "purling symphony" of fountains could represent the flow of creative thoughts. The "perfume of roses" and "wind full of other fragrances" could symbolize the beauty and diversity of the speaker's creative output. The "Elysian mirth" and "eternal ecstasies" suggest a transcendental, almost divine joy derived from the creative process.
4-. Tone and Mood: The tone of the sonnet is introspective and serene, reflecting the speaker's contentment with his solitude and creative process. The mood is uplifting and inspiring, encouraging readers to view solitude not as a negative state, but as a fertile ground for creativity and self-discovery.
5-. Alliteration and Assonance: The sonnet also uses alliteration (repetition of initial consonant sounds) and assonance (repetition of vowel sounds), which contribute to its musicality. For example, in the line "Bedded and snarked in my own fantasies," the repetition of the 'd' and 'n' sounds is a form of alliteration, while the repetition of the 'e' sound in "Bedded" and "snarked" is a form of assonance.

Sonnet 67 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
The Imitable Will Remain
Sooner or later for sure we will rest
Beneath a death mantle on Nature's lap
Consciously or not for another quest
Embeded in the mold of some ground's strap.
Our fragrant silken petals may linger
Into organic stench for a moment
But years we will have to count no longer
Away from life where trifles we comment.
The imitable we leave will remain 9
On earth that benefits from those bygone
And our three fourths of water in the main 11
Will keep on dancing with rainbows and sun.
Our ashes, dust, rocks, soul plants and flowers
will pray to God while waiting for showers.

Analysis of "The Imitable Will Remain"
Sonnet 67 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, titled "The Imitable Will Remain," is a contemplative piece that explores the themes of mortality, legacy, and the cyclical nature of life.
The sonnet follows the Shakespearean structure, consisting of three quatrains and a concluding couplet, with the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
In the first quatrain, the speaker acknowledges the inevitability of death, stating that everyone will eventually "rest / Beneath a death mantle on Nature's lap." The phrase "Nature's lap" personifies nature as a nurturing entity, suggesting that death is a natural part of life's cycle.
The second quatrain continues this theme, contrasting the beauty of life ("fragrant silken petals") with the decay that follows death ("organic stench"). The speaker notes that after death, we will no longer count the years or concern ourselves with life's trivialities.
The third quatrain introduces the concept of legacy ("The imitable we leave will remain"). The speaker suggests that what we leave behind—our actions, ideas, or creations that can be imitated by others—will continue to exist and influence the world. The speaker also refers to the water cycle, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and death.
The concluding couplet brings the sonnet to a close with a hopeful note. The speaker suggests that even in death, we remain a part of the world ("Our ashes, dust, rocks, soul plants and flowers / will pray to God while waiting for showers"). This could be interpreted as a belief in spiritual continuation or simply the natural recycling of our physical elements back into the earth.
Overall, this sonnet is a profound meditation on the transient nature of life, the enduring impact of our actions, and the cyclical process of life and death. (GPT4)

Analyze the aspects that have yet to be analyzed
While we've discussed the themes, structure, and rhyme scheme of Sonnet 67 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, there are still several aspects that can be further analyzed, including its use of imagery, metaphor, and meter.
1-. Imagery: The sonnet is rich in vivid imagery that helps to convey its themes. For instance, the "fragrant silken petals" and "organic stench" in the second quatrain create a stark contrast between life and death. Similarly, the image of our "three fourths of water in the main / Will keep on dancing with rainbows and sun" in the third quatrain evokes the ongoing cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all things.
2-. Metaphor: The sonnet uses metaphor to express abstract ideas. For example, the "imitable" in the third quatrain is a metaphor for the legacy we leave behind, which can be imitated or carried on by others. The "three fourths of water in the main" is a metaphor for the human body, which is approximately 75% water, and its return to the natural world after death.
3-. Meter: Like most sonnets, Sonnet 67 is written in iambic pentameter, a meter that consists of five pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables per line. This gives the poem a rhythmic quality that guides the reader through its contemplation of life, death, and legacy.

5-. Tone: The tone of the sonnet is contemplative and somewhat melancholic, reflecting the speaker's meditation on mortality and the transient nature of life.

Sonnet 66 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Where The Night Begins
I lifted anchor to sail through the deep 1
That starts the night when darkness comes around
And I got to hear voices that surround
Mysteries of life while things fall asleep.
Tied to my body I watched sirens slip 5
By those island that in my mind I found
And where heavenly pleasures still abound
Beyond dark and death that our spirits keep.
I saw each star, planet and asteroid
While many creatures were counting each day
Those poor people that loneliness avoid...
Being part of night that gets born in space
And free of masts I went into the void 13
Without fears or pain, where the souls can stay.

Where The Night Begins
10 I lifted anchor to sail through the deep
10 That starts the night when darkness comes around
10 And I got to hear voices that surround
10 Mysteries of life while things fall asleep.
10 Tied to my body I watched sirens slip
10 By those island that in my mind I found
10 And where heavenly pleasures still abound
10 Beyond dark and death that our spirits keep.
10 I saw each star, planet and asteroid
10 While many creatures were counting each day
10 Those poor people that loneliness avoid...
10 Being part of night that gets born in space
10 And free of masts I went into the void
10 Without fears or pain, where the souls can stay.

Analysis of "I Did Not Care To Ask"
Sonnet 65 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, titled "I Did Not Care To Ask," is a contemplative piece that explores the themes of self-discovery, the search for meaning, and the acceptance of mystery.
The sonnet is structured in the traditional Shakespearean format, consisting of three quatrains and a concluding couplet. The rhyme scheme is ABABCDCDEFEFGG, which is typical of the English sonnet.
In the first quatrain (lines 1-4), the speaker metaphorically describes the process of self-discovery and introspection as planting seeds from his "original mind" onto the earth. He hopes that by doing so, he might uncover some profound truths about his existence or heritage ("Ancestral light, or reasons for my birth").
The second quatrain (lines 5-8) introduces a challenge in the speaker's quest. Despite his efforts to nurture these seeds (symbolizing his thoughts or ideas), he realizes that the "instance" (urgent plea or persistent solicitation) will always be a part of human nature, regardless of age or distance. This could be interpreted as the inherent human desire for understanding and meaning.
In the third quatrain (lines 9-12), the speaker expresses his frustration and exhaustion from his futile attempts to find answers through rational thought and questioning others ("I asked all the people questions amain"). He eventually surrenders to sleep, a realm "rich in symbols," suggesting that he finds more meaningful insights in the subconscious or dream state.
The concluding couplet (lines 13-14) reveals a shift in the speaker's attitude. His oracle, or source of wisdom, is a forest in his dreams. The forest could symbolize the complexity and mystery of life. The speaker admits that he did not care to ask questions anymore, indicating an acceptance of the unknown and an appreciation for the journey of self-discovery, rather than a relentless pursuit of definitive answers.
Overall, this sonnet is a profound exploration of the human quest for understanding and the acceptance of life's inherent mysteries. It suggests that sometimes, the most meaningful insights come not from persistent questioning, but from embracing the unknown and appreciating the journey of self-discovery. (GPT4)

Analyze the aspects that have yet to be analyzed
While we've covered the rhyme scheme and thematic content of Sonnet 65 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares, there are still several aspects that can be further analyzed, including its meter, imagery, and use of enjambment.
1-. Meter: The sonnet appears to follow the iambic pentameter, which is typical of English sonnets. This means each line generally has five metrical feet, each consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable (da-DUM). For example, in line 1, "I digged seeds from my original mind," we can see this pattern.
2-. Imagery: The sonnet is rich in imagery, which helps to convey its themes. The speaker uses the metaphor of planting seeds from his mind into the earth, creating a vivid picture of his quest for self-discovery and understanding. The image of the forest in the speaker's dreams serves as a symbol for the complexity and mystery of life.
3-. Enjambment: The sonnet also uses enjambment, where a sentence or phrase runs over from one line to the next without a major pause. For example, lines 1-2 ("I digged seeds from my original mind / And planted them on the face of our earth") and lines 5-6 ("Each day I looked for water for their mold / But I found out one day that this instance") use enjambment to create a smooth, continuous thought.
4-. Word Choice: The sonnet uses some archaic or less common words, such as "digged" (an older form of "dug"), "amain" (meaning "in great haste"), and "instance" (used here to mean "urgent plea"). These word choices contribute to the sonnet's formal tone and may also serve to connect the poem to the tradition of older English sonnets.
5-. Volta: In a sonnet, the volta is the turn of thought or argument. In this sonnet, the volta occurs in the final couplet (lines 13-14), where the speaker reveals that he has stopped asking questions and has accepted the mystery of life. This shift in perspective provides a resolution to the speaker's earlier struggle for understanding.
6-. Tone: The tone of the sonnet shifts from a sense of curiosity and struggle in the first three quatrains to a tone of acceptance and peace in the final couplet. This shift in tone aligns with the volta and helps to convey the speaker's journey from questioning to acceptance. (GPT4)

Sonnet 4 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
A Castaway's Dream
Cruel tidal waves rise and fall and combine
To destroy little by little my shore
Where I grow shells for pearls that I adore
And which to match her teeth and eyes I twine.
And there are mad winds that my boat incline
Till I feel lonely and wait for much more
Of this forlorn for the bad spirits roar
Not letting my strengths rejoin and aline.
I drowned my old habits with compassion
To keep afloat when I started sinking
My many deaths surpassing my actions.
My only hope is to start more dreaming
Or days when I can have other options
And forgetfulness and new beginning.

Sonnet 62 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Voyage To The infinite
On a clear day I heard the salling bells
Calling me toward a beautiful main 2
That echoes in mind's bottomless wells
And in which all my soul's hopes remain.
The ideas then came up to my head
As if we were already here to stay
And after dead we were not to be dead
With more joys and pain in other way...
With thoughts of being perhaps new creatures
In wonder I was able to converse
And mix with more people of all natures
To share messages of the universe.
From then on I have looked at my future
Rapt by the vastness of my adventure.

Sonnet 61 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Listening To Life's calls
To life's highest summits we are welcome
And we answer its calls as we grow old
Finding a completion at the threshold
of that universe our mind can become.
Numerous people behind us may come
With good ideas of truth they behold
Supporting weaknesses they always hold
In need of leadership to overcome.
Sometimes it only takes a soft zephyr
To push our bark and find the rich Ophir 10
That has been left for us by kings of thought.
But other times we need to look around
And search places where nothing has been found
Faring paths through the ages we forgot.

Sonnet 59 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
On Time's Lap
Protected by the shade of an old tree
I decided to watch the hours happen
And let the plant's spirit take over me
Since I have this experience often.
I beheld the past and things that are dear
To man and all his reasons to survive
Also passions that were born yesteryear
And seasons of life in which we all thrive.
I felt that I was a child on time's lap
Born from some mind in a night of heaven
But aware enough to follow the sap
That yield fruits that we pick up each even.
A child to whom little will satisfy
Because his inner songs will never die.

Sonnet 58 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares
Game Of Fate And Chance
Together we are part of a same breath
That moves around every mind and shape
And thoughts are primordial wreath 3
To bind Energies that from god escape.
When Sun's Photons hit against a plant's cell 5
To engage in organic pilgrimage 6
We know that someone always rings the bell
Since randomness would have been lost with age. 8
And when Spring and full moons give us raptures
Or all the faces celebrate their smile
We know that each thing and being captures
That same wavelength of light, mile after mile.
One day we will have awareness at once
