Ngoc Nguyen Poet Sonnet

''Caught and Caged Between My Love and My Lust''

Caught and caged between my love and my lust
for you, dear Teacher, feelings of passion
swell to great heights of reckless abandon
that I feel I will love you 'til I'm dust.
If wanting you is to sin then I must!
How can this be so wrong yet feel so right?
O God, have mercy! Please forgive my plight
as my heart burns for a love that's not just.
Still, dear Teacher, hear my beating young heart
and love me as you ought! Set me on fire
as portraits do—like Raphael's best art!
Kiss me like no other! Stoke my desire!
Thrill me down there—in the nethermost part!
Keep loving me lest I die and expire!!
