One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 10. Rick and Ren
.
Sonnet No. 19[1]
That Romeo loved Juliet is true,
But equally Mercutio loved him,
And how the tragic tale a twist could do,
If the boys could love, and sadness betrim.
Rick loved Ren, and "In the Flesh" they could be
Back again, redeemer to each other,
Despite all the world's cruel hostility,
Their eyes beheld risen Love without cover.
So despite how the temporal world may try –
To hold down, and suppress, our worth –
We will always be there to refute their lie
That our greatest gift wasn't given at birth.
Love me: that is all of you I can ask,
Make them feel we are worthy of the task.
Sonnet No. 20
Click; stop: click; stop: the hands of time go on,
Rigid soldiers, their arms stiff and marching
Have limited moves in the game matching –
Still; stymied: hands; jerking: the clock seems pawn.
And yet, all our hopes and dreams on it fawn,
Begging for enough time dispatching,
To render our longings some detaching,
And beef up our resolve with brawn.
But none of that really seems to matter
When I simply think that I see your hand
Lifting to my lips like heaven's ladder
And pressing there so we both understand
Nothing in the human heart is gladder
Than to have time greater than grains of sand.
