One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 17. heartbeat
.
Sonnet No. 33
Why do we have a brain, if not to think –
Why a heart, if not to have it broken,
And so common wisdom would have us sink
To the state that nothing can be spoken.
Frustrated and sad that they can't let us be;
That a boy-loving boy is no big deal,
And there's no point in denying what they see,
That people join because of what they feel.
So if I ask you to take my hand now –
So if for your love I ask forever,
Will you sanctify blessings to avow
That love is love, despite all endeavor?
Heart and mind, the universe in us beats,
And in measure all enmity defeats.
Sonnet No. 34
You bring comfort to an unquiet soul;
Your pillow is the sail that me protects
To luff back under your watchful control
A rocky mind, cliff-faced with impending wrecks.
You ask me to tell how much I love you –
I say, as the sky loves the rising air;
As birds the currents holding them move through;
As Justice loves for all things to be fair.
The down of my dreams is what I may sleep on,
But next to you, I soar above the crags;
If my eyes hold your image as my sun,
I will sail to where our hope never flags.
I love you as God should everyone,
The perfect love beyond comparison.
