Sonnet 03/05/01                        DXLV

Are you a rose, turning your face to sun,
With soft, sweet beauty, and a layered heart?
Have I some chance to know dreams with verse won,
That I might see the light that brings me art?

I wish that you dream of your heart's desire,
But hope you find some room within your thought
For one who finds your eyes to verse inspire:
I fear your image has my vision caught.

How might I show concern? I have not wit
Enough, to give what miles forbid. I send
What words I might, and hope that you see fit
To give reply. Shall I let desires end?

Would that I might look into eyes, and see
If in your dreams might be a thought of me.
