If I could write a sonnet, would it say
full half of what my heart has in it now?
Some special word to brighten up your way,
To weave a web of dreams if you allow
Would make my moment happier by far
And let me start the New Year with a smile.
But how this moment seems askew, ajar,
with business left to do all in a pile.
And so I'll leave good hopes for one and all -
And later will I come with poesy's call.
New Years Eve, 2005
Were I ever so clever
as to write a poem
clear, a poem so strong
with meaning it would sing
in my lovers ear...
Were I ever so clever
to pen this magical lyric
to lay a down star dust cover
a top the rime.
Were I ever so clever.
