A Sonnet To Me
A very light poem (one of my few); I think I was drunk when I wrote this...
I used to wish
That someone would
Write a sonnet
To me.
I got all tired
Of wishing, so
I wrote a sonnet
To thee.
I had thought
To win
Through verse
A love.
I found instead
A voice;
A love instead
I found inside.
I am to me
Writing a sonnet
So beautiful,
So new.
I have found
That verses complete
My personhood,
Not you.
I am writing
Me a sonnet –
The sonnet
Will be true.
I will become
The sonnet;
The sonnet need not
Be blue.
