OK, let me 'splain this:

Sonnet 10/06/05 is the date I finished this sonnet, in dd/mm/yy format

MX is the serial number in Roman numerals (1010 in Arabic numerals). Shakespeare's sonnets are numbered in this fashion: I started at I, and just add one to that number each time I finish one.

This is the 5th sonnet of 12 written to someone known here as Persphone. ( from my index)



Sonnet 10/06/05                                  MX

Now, what is it about you that I find
To steal my thoughts, and dreams? I think your eyes;
I can't ignore your glance, yet you remind
Of no one else. Is dreaming of you wise?
Perhaps, your smile; All others seem to fade
Upon your bright look. Yes, I find pleasure
In just seeing you, but your smile has made
Ordinary evening into treasure.
Yet, you have something, beyond eyes, or smile:
I do not know why you capture my dream,
Just that you do. Should I ask questions, while
I have chance to watch you, and hopes redeem?
Would you allow my dreams, or should I cease?
Should your continued smile my dreams increase?
