                Sonnet 10/05/01                                DXLIX

                I have not heard your voice, to have heart bound
                By dulcet tones. What might I do, to earn
                A gift of song, or laughter? How might sound
                Help me to know your heart? What might I learn?
                I have not run my fingers through your hair,
                To touch the curve of neck, or know if skin
                Is soft as dream. How might I evening share,
                At such a distance? What dreams would I win?
                I have not kissed your lips, to taste desire,
                But hope to find some passion in your lines.
                Yet, words do not offer the same sweet fire
                As silent look, or touch that heart entwines.
                How can I find ways to your soul entreat,
                When miles can half of my senses defeat?
