ok, you asked for it...

Sonnet 259 of 263 to my most recent muse

Sonnet 16/09/05                              MXX

Only dream gives reason to think you'll share
A part of your desires: To let me know
What I might do to longing for you show.
Can I ignore chance, and not my dreams dare?
I have only hope that you'd want my care,
When silence and fears fill mind, and tears flow.
Should I continue to let desire grow
For future, when I cannot past repair?
Yet, you remain sweet muse, though shadow falls
Upon my dreams. I try to reach your light
To heal heart, but arms fail to hold concerns.
Now, the longing for your kiss in dream calls,
But I am tied to past: I fear to write
Of love until dream knows that hope returns.
