Charles Barry Poet Sonnet

A Sonnet For Kasia On Her Wedding

A Sonnet for Kasia on her wedding
When I consider women I have known
And I assess the way my love has grown
That this short space of time has changed so much
Where both my hand and yours have been in touch
When I recall a colleague years ago 
The seeds of sympathy did in Stuttgart sow
A carnal wish for you I dare express
But in our shared religion must repress
My wife, my child they give such happiness
Please God – like ours- your marriage He will bless
With joy and children and a peaceful home 
Where doubt, depression, shame and boredom  cannot roam
For Kasia I have felt the fruits of friendship grow so strong
I pray we’ll work together and be true friends for long

Wendy Nipas April 9, 2020 at 6:38 AM Okay, feelings are like wild horses if not tamed. You have very respectfully explained your love for a friend. And love is such a broad concept. But still, there are rules. And you respected them in your poem. I love it. Charles Barry April 9, 2020 at 8:42 AM Thanks so much Wendy for the comment. You understood exactly how I felt here. Sex is such a wild horse isn't it? And yet no matter how attracted we are to friends we must keep control especially if we are married
