Sonnet for Two Distant Lovers
There is no hope for passions unreleased
When a heart is distant and wakes for love
The nights are cold and the owls are mourning
For cravings locked inside unsatisfied
To reminisce: A step closer to hell
And pain a punishment seems forever
It is an endeavor heaven to reach
To feel one’s kisses in an August night
Oh where does my sweet lover hide her lips?
For it has left the door opened for months
Though it will never leave my heart in vain
Thirst for her touch seduce me in darkness
If I could ever kiss those lips again
That will be the day the sun never sets
