Sonnet 1
The stupid are wisest in a matter
beyond the knowledge of all. Easily
their faults become diamond rings-tactlessly
they speak; with no intention to shatter
glass hearts, repaired by the non stop chatter
about its so called perfection. Blindly
she looks past me, longing to helplessly
place her head on its gold plated platter.
No matter- for I, the supposed wise
one will continually wait for her.
Un-phased, un-deterred, with a hope
that she may, one day, see through its disguise.
The dust of angels is a sure killer,
because of my love, she ties both our ropes.
