A Sonnet........... |
O, why must I convince my words she’s wrong? In spite of all the wrongs I’ve yet to write? It is not love, I know, though love does long To spite the words I wrong and make them right. If quills beget a muse, then quills won’t tap The wanton lines where scribbles fornicate, For muses widen interest’s narrow gap And stains the options words could formulate. I write of wrongs to rid of wrongs, for they Deceive my verbose heart’s admired case With words that fashion love a muse who preys On words that speak of mind, and not of face. Can I escape a musing’s fate as two? Or watch her flee as one and I as through? |
