It's still a love sonnet though...kinda 
The Lifeboat
Sequestered by the waters of life, trapped on an island of despair
my horizon barren of hope
going nowhere...
Stripped of the clothing of contentment, naked on a cay of anguish
my days barren of expectation
it comes to me!
Shrouded in moralistic servitude...had it been there all along?
my heart barren of perception?
Love is my lifeboat!

This is probably my favorite of all the poems you've posted so far. Personally, I actually prefer poetry that is rhythmic rather than rhyming. It may come from my love of percussion, I'm not really sure. Anyway, that's a non sequitor. Great work with this one, I love that it's a love poem, but takes a completely different direction that your other work.
