Khia's Sonnet (Australian Sonnet)
As piercing shadows lay across the sand,
there, in a single beam of silver light,
I saw her dance and marvelled at the sight
from where I stood behind the old bandstand.
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen
she is my dream could I but take a chance
to hold her tight and find the wild romance
instead of grasping odes of might have been.
To run my fingers through her silken hair
mayhaps to share a kiss or talk of things
all through the night until the sunrise sings
but 'what if' never got me any where.
My chance of love I have to take and soon
as lady dances neath the wild moon.
