One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 15. reflection
.
Sonnet No. 29
I lay my head down, and I close my eyes –
The room about me may be dark and still,
But flashes of your thought makes me realize
More than stars in the universe can thrill.
At one level, you and I never part,
And haven't since the time our hands first joined
To stamp the other's image in his art,
And find that Love, has been perfectly coined.
Upon all the starry wonders of you,
My eyes close, but actually open
In my darkened room so the light bursts through
Leaving my lips uttering an "Amen."
What force can light up every darkened night? –
That which you impress in me with your sight.
Sonnet No. 30
Can a person's heart concave and convex –
Twisting an image over to and fro
To ever re-mint it fresh, and then sew
On the mind's mirror, where an engrave reflects?
Like feelings that both behave and perplex,
Convoluting the clear path as they flow,
So my thoughts of you, dear boy, come and go,
But deep within me an enclave collects.
Limpid runs the gentle underflowing
Your smooth currents bring to my state of mind,
And like Narcissus to the water's ring
The beauty is beguiling that I find,
And no distortion is there reflecting
One love mirrored by two faces of kind.
