          sonnet 12_07

          I know you less than once I thought I did
          And find therein the fear that we'll be rid
          One day of all the hopes and dreams we had
          And in that silence couldn't be as glad
          As days when came the verses and the lines
          We deemed more valuable than diamond mines

          How can I longer hold the thread of you
          As seams we sewed are stressed then rent in two
          The stitching fine across old tears we found
          Might well have kept us in a new world bound
          Except new clothing that appeared so fit
          Arrived across an ogre's unseen pit

          To lure you to a lair of shams and lies
          And trapped in it is where our future dies

          s.a.g.

"I know you less than once I thought I did"

~ How many times, I too, have had such a thought. ~ "Let me count the ways"...

Hi, Arthur! It is good to see you posting again! ~ and with a fine sonnet!

Giving you a warm, welcome-back hug,

Linda
