He looked at me for just a minute And never said a word But I saw his mind and everything in it He'd never spoken; yet I'd heard I felt the beauty in his stare Saw the longing in his eyes Felt the touch that wasn't there Heard the sadness in his sighs And I thought that we would meet once more If only, again, to exhange brief glances And that was it...nothing more But I live with my regret...for their are no second chances I didn't get a number...I didn't even get a name Wish you would've just walked out...but instead, into my life you came (*Hey, this is my first sonnet. It isn't that great...but i just wanted to try something new, rather than my usual blank verse.*) "Do not marry the one that you can live with. Marry the one you cannot live without." |

Hmm, I am not a sonnet writer, don't even know what the guidelines of writing one are. But I like this depiction of one of those mysterious, untouchable love affairs that last the briefest of moments, but seems to linger forever in the mind.  With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
