Sonnet 2

There is a beauty on this path and light
I watch for signs of growth a sign of love
the time to dive is when the water's high
the time to swim is when you're strong enough.

The one I seek is found where blood is spilt
the one I love has known no other heart
she walks as soft as summer's tender lilt
when twilight falls the tender day departs.

A fantasy in blue and grey is she
the music heard in far off rooms a fall
this melody is lost in chords of heat
so traumatised in passion knowing all.

My love is liquid in this quiet glow
I stare at stars that shine at what they know.
