sonnet 203 of 242 to my muse...
Sonnet 03/12/04 CMLVIII
Can I find some gem to your eyes reflect, To place around your neck, that it might touch Where I long to caress? Can I expect To kiss soft lips, or do I ask too much? Shall I dream about you, and let thoughts trace The curve of neck? You know I want to hold My arms round inspiration: Shall I place Hopes upon page, and let desires be told? Might I weave you a crown of roses, white, And all of thorns removed? You command all Of dream, and of my heart. Might I share night Looking at smile, and into your eyes fall? You are my muse, and focus of desire: Can I not dream of one who dreams inspire?
