Acquiesce ,My First Sonnet
awake I graze the naked mind undone,
my contemplations shuffle off to her
and no halfhearted muse, no not a one
eclipses her insoluble liqueur,
nor any stirring of the thoughts distill
the past forgotten heartaches and remorse;
and years will shed their years and on until
the perfume dissipates and then of course
her eyes will lose something, eventually,
her features, now, less vivid than before,
but now the night has other plans for me,
and she will be my black hole paramour,
in time, I’ll think not on her fading face,
tonight, just let me think one last embrace.
