SONNET
No longer think about the cruel time
As thou must feel relieved in heaven
Free yourself from the chains of pride
Then together we will appreciate what is given
See the love in my heart as sacred as snow
As thou could read deeper in my soul
Spirit away the darkness of fear I know
To lighten the deepest corners of your mind as a whole
Every single snow flake in my wounded heart
Belongs to your precious silver skies
Oh my love, thou must surely accept
Love never fades no matter how hard one escapes
And after all if thou decide to leave
I shall do nothing to myself but deceive

EMILIA SOLOLIQUY
ACT 5 SCENE 2
To speak the truth or not; I be in doubt.
Betray my lord or my lady, do what?
I know not of the truth any longer
Nor I shall be proud; forever cursed.
Or no more shall I sleep nor I rest fair…
How if I be honest nor I be foul;
Worse and worse, ‘tis an endless consumption.
Despise me, if I am unkind to speak,
Pity me for I wedded the evil.
Whether ‘tis Nobler to suffer the pain,
Or to stand against the coming Tempest?
To say thy end thou heartache and then sleep;
The sleep of death, ‘tis eternal to wish…
To the last piece of time, I be in doubt,
I shall do nothing but to please my lord.
Nor I know I was a fool; to give thy
Handkerchief, O’ the fair Desdemona.
My betrayal shall forever hunt me.
But I do think it is mine husband’s fault!
If I do fall, say I slack my duty,
My lord be mad at me, or say strike me.
Why, we wives, have not a choice or no grace?
Let the husbands know, their wives are bonded,
Until the last syllable of their lives,
To please their husbands, in every matter.
Even betray their ladies, their path’s drawn…
I, though be of fault, yet still have some grace
To Let valiant Othello know the truth.
Let them know, I shall let him know at last,
My lady Desdemona is loyal.
