Epitaph

For those who wish to know aught Shakespeare's heart
One ought to know his Concubine gave him
A son, whose fair skin and beauteous cheeks
Were the song of one hundred twenty-six
Sonnets. Whom, encouraged to seek out love
Was wounded for it, and grew gravely ill
Until he had died, and Shakespeare would write
Hamnet's one hundred, twenty-six sonnet
Epitaph, to immortalize Hamnet's
Search for love. A boy, whom legally was
A slave, beloved by his father William;
Yet, the slutishness of time had warped it.
For, the Boy whose beauteous cheeks are here
Immortalized, he, his pursuit, is love.
