Sonnet i

In times of warmth when love and comfort dear

Have cast their blindless light upon my star

How is it that i wish to disappear

And find myself again back where you are?

Is it that home is only home with you?

And how then did you earn your house that name

When judged by years it's relatively new?

My home is not my home here just the same.

And so i will be happy as i must

Although without you sugar tastes as dust.

Sonnet ii

What sweetened torture i endure each day

When hour after hour passes by

And still i feel so very far away

From that which i desire - yes thee and i

Yet rosey is my sadness for ere now

I never had pined after someone's touch

Nor eyes nor lips nor hands nor raven brow

And here i am missing almost too much.

My paradox is that i weep at this

While being glad i have a love to miss.

Sonnet iii

Heartsick have i been this long long day

Heavy is my disposition yet

I smile and try my best to hide away

The pain the life the love i can't forget

Sorry am i for the ones i fool

They ask for nothing save my company

And yet i cannot seem to break the rule

That sayeth once i love twice bound i'll be

Alas i often slip and to them show

That far away my heart desires to go.

Sonnet iv

It seems only a moment past

I listened to the dulcet tone

Of thy too far off voice at last

But now i find myself alone

Yet my eyes closed i am not so

For underneath my fingertips

I feel your flesh caressing slow

And hold thy tongue between my lips

Past caring how forlorn it seems

I'll sleep to meet you in my dreams.

Sonnet v

A cold wind ravages my mind

As though i were a blade of grass

Which rained upon has been made blind

And waits now for the storm to pass

But strange the closer cometh i

To travel's end and your embrace

The darker seems to go the sky

The further off seemeth your face

'tis trying when in pain to rhyme

'tis harder still to measure time.
