Sonnet 10/05/03                           DCCCXVII

Are you a dream, dear muse, or are you real,
That dreams might be fulfilled? Should I desire
To touch more than your heart, or ask you feel
Towards me as you my feelings now inspire?
Might you be more than muse? Would you share heart
With one who asks and offers all? What goal
Should I pursue: Should I seek only art,
Or try to know if your heart makes me whole?
Does vision equal sight, that dreams can show
What might yet be? Will I look into eyes
In search for what my heart might wish to know?
Is search for true love ever truly wise?
I cannot less than feelings show, but fear
I risk with truth something that I hold dear.

Sonnet 15/5/03                           DCCCXVIII

You are not dream, but give my heart a base
To dream upon. I do not seek to change
More than this distance: I wish touch might trace
What dream displays, to future rearrange.
Eyes are not gems, but in them I see more
Than treasure. I value all you might give
Of self, and ask if I might hopes restore,
To hold out heart to muse, and let dreams live.
Dream has not power that I find in you:
Your words bring more to mind than just desire.
Yet, passion for my muse is to dreams true:
How can I not love one that dreams inspire?
In you I find far more than source of art:
True beauty, quiet, rests within your heart.

1) your fingers and toes will fall off
2) Your face will become a rash of warts and sores
3) You will have dandruff so bad, even head & shoulders wont get rid of it
4) Your eyesight will fail
5) you shall grow horrible shaggy hair all over your body
6) You will go bow legged
7) suffer from chronic B.O problems
8) Be jeered and made fun of by everyone
9) Have horns grow out of your head
10) and become allergic to PC's

(note: due to the severity of this curse it will take a while to kick in. Probably about 90years, but you have been warned, even if you go senile and forget about it, it will happen. be AFRID be very AFRAID)

Sonnet 18/5/03                      DCCCXIX

The night is silver, with a muse's moon
Shining upon my heart. How can I fear,
When even shadows seem to dance to tune,
And all my thoughts are of one I hold dear?
What would dryad desire, to fulfill dreams,
In payment for all that she gives my heart?
What might I give, when all of vision seems
To be of one who causes dreams to start?
How can I show my dreams, and my heart share?
Only words now have chance to touch her cheek,
Or brush her lips. To tell her how I care:
How can I not spend dream, to presence seek?
She is my muse, and source of my heart's light:
I hold to vision even without sight.

Sonnet 20/05/03                            DCCCXX

I hug my muse with rose's touch, as soft
As dream upon my heart, or moon on tree.
I kiss her, and throw all of hopes aloft
To weave world for my muse, that dream might be.
I touch her cheek, and bend to brush her lips,
Dusted with powdered dreams, and heart's desire.
I hold her in my arms, and my heart slips
Out of my reach, to muse's touch aspire.

Would I were that rose, that muse might hold near,
To feel the touch of skin, and sound of heart.
I seek my dream, and only silence fear:
She is the one that offers wizard art.
Roses so fragrant, to calm hurting soul,
Give me the strength to keep all of dreams whole.

Sonnet 21/05/03                         DCCCXXI

What can I teach the one who teaches heart?
Only the pleasure that her pleasure brings.
I give my love, and offer all my art
That she might be the one of whom sigh sings.
How can I hold my muse throughout the night:
To protect her from cold, and thought of pain?
My arms would keep her near, yet remain light
Upon her, that I might my dreams obtain.
What can I give, when my own soul is hers?
Might she accept all I would hope to give?
Have I earned even smile, with my murmurs
Of dream, when I ask that this dream might live?
My muse knows all, and shares her wisdom of
What she causes in dream: Desire, and love.

Sonnet 23/05/03                            DCCCXXII

I ask my muse how I might her hopes please,
To give all she desires. How to earn prize
I seek is goal: Yet, can I her heart seize?
I think each night of smile, and caring eyes.
The human heart is foolish, and seeks dreams
Beyond reason and sense. But, is it crime
To chase after desire? Are hopes but schemes
That demand unearned wages for their time?
With words that reach my heart, and eyes that hold
The future, can dream forget muse, or seek
For less than love? But, have I passions told
In truth, too old to more than hear heart speak?
She is my muse: Her words give me my sight:
How else might I share dreams she has at night?

I have but lifetime to write of my muse:
Not long enough, by far, to tell my dream.
Each moment, though, is precious: Heart must choose
How to show feelings, and not foolish seem.
I have my wit and words to tell desire,
But hesitate to all my wishes write.
Should I ask for passion, when muse might tire
Of one worn down by years? Yet, dreams are bright.
I have only poor heart to give, though prize
My muse above the stars: She is the light
That visions show. I seek for dawn in eyes:
How can I hope that dreams might hold heart tight?
I feel the press of time, but seek to show
How much my muse gives hope, to make life grow.

beardedbruce, your sonnets are lovely, it is them more than the desire to be last has me starring at my screen for ten minutes waiting for the entire thread to open! (no, I'm not on broadband)
Maybe you'll write one and dedicate it to the last poster. er no, that would make it you, then you'd be writing a sonnet for yourself wich could be entirely confusing, furthermore if somebody posted again, you would have to re write the entire sonne.............

What would this Sunday bring to muse? A gift
Of quiet time, and love? Or does she slave
Upon her toils, to clean and fold and lift,
To earn at cost of energies dreams gave?
I cannot change the weather, nor her tasks,
To give muse time to dream, or write, or read.
I have only my verse to send, that asks
Desires: What might I give that she might need?
Would I might share my hours, and give muse time,
That she would write more of her dreams, and share
Reasons to smile. Yet, my desires but climb
Upon the clouds: My dreams anchor in air.
I should not talk of time, nor of desire:
I must give all to muse that dreams inspire.
