One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 23. "Loneliness can take to it a sharp point"
.
Sonnet No. 45
I wish to break the cycle; give you something
You could show your friends and be proud of –
A token to say for you I am your king;
That showers you with the happiness of love.
I'll tell you of the happy time ahead
When hand-in-hand over green grass we'll go,
While our sorrow we'll replace with joy instead,
And in our hearts' honeymoon we will glow.
The day your hand slips into mine for good
Will be the day I freshly see the world,
For all its pain will be understood,
And the true banner of you and I unfurled.
Let your friends read this, and let them smile
That you're passionately loved in style!
Sonnet No. 46
Loneliness can take to it a sharp point –
Twist it 'round the blade, and shavings fall
In ribbons thin-sheared away to the viewpoint
That there was ever company at all.
Today the freshness of the morning's eye
Rises this Sunday peacefully around,
And with each passing word wants to know why
I ignore her and her beauty profound.
But Nature can't see, She's the blade that cuts –
Trims my life by minutes and days that fade,
As these lines sharpen, if I have the guts,
The simple point I have not yet made.
I'd trade all the future mornings right now,
If I could just say "I love you" somehow.
