sonnet 99 of 212...
Sonnet 09/09/03 DCCCXLVII Rev B
A bright September day, and my heart dwells Upon my muse: In dream I hold her near, But I am still alone. I dare not steer My hopes upon the path of which verse tells. This dryad nurtures love: Her eyes cast spells On heart and soul. I cannot dreams ignore, Yet dare not desires for passion explore: I could not risk all that from my dream wells. I find in thought of muse I win heart's ease, Though she excites me: I've found true desire, But know not how to show how much I care. I do not know if these words will muse please, For I am not yet brave. Will she now tire Of verses that but longings for her share?
