(written in early '99, I may have posted here - but I think not - if I'm wrong please accept my apology)

I ask you if you care a bit at all
Grant that I might bear your tears a while
For I have seen hopes dashed upon the wall
I may not share your locus but I smile

It may not be that our fates intertwine
Yet I feel your struggle through your soft words
And sense a strength such frail words deny
And wish to aid your hearing of the birds

Moreover, know I bear a love for you
Transcendent though you chose not to believe
So if inside my heart you had a clue
You'd know there is no intent to deceive

So share with me - and know your secrets' safe
Bound in my love, my tender little waif

The first duty of love is to listen.

Good read.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

I just love your sonnets...
they flow like sweet cream butter..
and the emotions are like sweet raspberry tea

lovely Wil ... sonnet poet sir

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

When I can write deeply personal - and resurrect something - that this time speaks to someone real - (and I liked this one when it was fantasy) = I'm most pleased - - so if you were pleased - I maybe did it right - - thank you
