Sonnet 1
Displaying, with a humble kiss, my love
On skin so white as summer’s clouds up high
Or feathers fallen off of startled doves
Perhaps I should not even want to try
Soon shorter days will want to replace these
So feel for me and if you can’t, just cheat
Use all you have inside to do this, please
Shall I say more or force your heart to beat?
And then, as minutes passed, autumn bloomed
Now it begins, a game we cannot win
Not seeing you in that grey clinic’s room
And freer than this, you have never been
Dare not to speak, hush now and look at that.
Our world fell apart when that line went flat
