165th sonnet to my Reluctant Muse



Sonnet 21/5/2019                         MCCLVI


I write now for an audience of none:
This muse does not my verses read, nor think
What she inspires has worth. My hopes now sink
Away from light, and soul turns to despair.
Yet, heart is not so willing to not care:
I still pray dreams of her will sonnets give,
And someday muse’s smile might let hope live.
Must heart admit she has ending begun?
It is not absence from muse that I fear,
But that lines unread cannot her smiles earn.
How shall I feelings tell, when she’ll ignore
All that I write? How can I make it clear
How much heart hurts, to know I’ll never learn
Her dreams that could future verses ensure?
