A Sonnet from Love lost days

Indeed soft thoughts I've laboured long,
sung sweeter far than the Poet's song,
fully fills the glass where hope belongs,
relieving woes and its attendant wrongs,
as once sombre sullen enduring throng,
served life's integrity, harsh and wrong,
unknown to Nightingale's love lyrics long,
drowned in murky waters, stagnant strong,
thus slain the darkness that surrounded me,
banishing all which past I could not see,
now swift flown, solitudes lifeless spree
to colour paint, a bright new world for we,

How now, a kaleidoscope to us appear,
an emotional tapestry, coloured woven dear.

About this poem:
written on reflection of some one who had been in love's wilderness for many years and now emerging into love's light yet once again

Nice Phil, you know how to write a sonnet.
Hope you dont mind but I feel lines three and four should end as plurals especially where you have spoken of woes rather than woe.

Hello Rob, Much appreciate your comments, your grammatic observations are quite correct, I so intent on the emotional content and in a hurry to put on paper the thoughts that were flooding the moment of poetic time, unfortunately grammar was not part of my thinking, and to make matters worse, must confess that my grammar is somewhat appalling at the best of times,and guilty of not editing. But as always, your comments are truly appreciated.
