Sonnet #27
Adrift I felt while frigid beat my heart,
Until drawn by sweetest essence your allure,
Admired I your petals white, peaceful, pure,
Swiftly humming since your kiss nectar dart.
Ulterior lives and love kept us apart;
Within my mind blossomed your smile demure,
Clearing puerile sentiments obscure,
Yet saddest moments drove us to part.
In genial manner, love of mine, contrite,
May your pearly corolla reconcile,
Allowing within care and trust; delight.
I meekly plea may amity reignite
Your sojourn each second made worthwhile
To my mind every day and every night.
