What heart entreats, I fear I cannot be -- Nor speak the words that hope demands to hear; For such would trust my happiness to thee, And christen thee as one I must revere. Though innocent and pure thou might appear, A blessing of the heavens' lofty hand, Thine eyes endanger all I hold as dear: For I am but a slave to their demand. Upon my soul, in mastery you stand -- I cannot from my mind this sight erase -- Thine eyes burn not with love, but cold command: And naught but cruel intentions in your face! For love's facade, no favor shall I spare: There are much kinder means to court despair! ------------------ You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |

Hey, Kess, this is great! I saw your name next to sonnet, and just had to read it. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Once again I am left speechless by the beauty of your words and the talent that is obviously yours. VERY VERY well done!  ------------------ Denise |
