A Valentine Sonnet
If thou hadst mine heart for thine own keepsake
Thou wouldest pledge thy love only to me.
Methinks ‘twould be the coming of daybreak,
To wake me from my dreamlike fantasy.
If I hadst thine heart for mine own treasure
How wouldst I pledge my love only to thee?
No mortal wouldst deny me the pleasure
Of revelling within thy company.
Anon, my fair and magnificent maid
And we shall greet each other with a kiss
Wherefore the hope that thine eyes have conveyed
May soothe my aching soul with budding bliss
Anon and yet, we both shall retire
Our souls ablaze with a divine fire.
About this poem
This sonnet comes from reflection upon the prospect of secret admiration requited. It is yet another exercise in writing to summit the mount of pleasant horizons.
