First "Italian" Sonnet

[tectak]

This one is written specifically for someone I know, so I wanna make sure it's nice and crisp! One of my main concerns is the volta; I'm not sure if the sonnet is supposed to do a complete 180, or rather just slightly shift focus. Meh. I'm still new
Hi thep,
A good start. Maybe you want it all and you want it now? You need a title...poets can do that. They have words and imagination. Give it a title. Please. Slight line by line. Don't worry about EVERY aspect of poetic construction at once.
Also, not sure of a name for it yet. I'll get there.
--------

The time will come when youth will forthwith flee Forget forthwith. Legal, pretentious, superfluous.
And beauty's just a relic of the past. Stop capitalising the line starts.You must be reading a very old poetry book. It was never a "good" idea.
The tone of silken skin can never last
When nature takes its course and humbles thee. Prithee fair poet, that thoust shoudst twain to be an maker of verse. Sheesh!
You'll hear the reaper come to set you free; I love semi colons. Not here
Regret for wasted time that spun too fast
And dreams unfilled that never came to pass drop the "and". Now you can use "unfullfilled"
Will devastate your innermost esprit. Nice work when you settle down and THINK. Esprit is possibly inspired. Some may argue

With youthful hue as yet upon your face As yet is "still"
And breasts of Helen standing ever round, Comedic. You may as well have said "hanging ever round"
The pleasures wrought by spring are ever yours! Ever the ever
So by my side I pray you'll take your place
Exploring sides of life that rest unfound,
Together free to test forbidden doors. Tired ending. Have a strong espresso and rewrite the ending.

As others said, there is a lot to like in this...just cut out the other bits. Overall this is a very good piece of work. The problem you have is that of identity...I should say the character's identity. Inconsistent so lacks veracity. Remember Cyrano de Bergerac?
Best,
