rima fragmenta, Fragments of a Rift: Fifty Sonnets for Kevin - 17. confounderies
.
Sonnet No. 33
The golden means seeks to find a middle path
Between extremes where the twain will not meet;
The golden ratio unfolds beauty’s math,
Be it in leaf, flower or a star’s heat.
So when I’m with you, my spiral expands
To limits without outer boundaries
Where the core of me can shake off demands
Presented by the world’s confounderies.
But along the middle way, exploring
All the wonders you trace out before me,
Our ratio I will keep balancing
To unlock the swirling stars’ finite key.
Eyes opened or closed, it does not matter;
The light of you great patterns still scatter.
Sonnet No. 34
The Bard wrote of having the love of his boy
– Professed his ability to absolve
Every perceived wrong with a grinning ploy –
Yet here I sit with nothing but my resolve.
Perhaps not ready to confess it yet,
Your acts speak louder than any poet
When our ebb and flow produces the sweat
Any man would envy as proof of it.
So, can great love be a one-sided conceit;
Move in but one direction as it were;
Act in the manner of a one-way street?
No. For true give and take can be singular
No more than a river can run opposed
Within its banks as two currents enclosed.
