sonnet #7

i see your face in the evening sky

i can tell it's you by your celestial lustre

as heavenly bodies make revolutions nearby

you remain steadfast, shining brightly as ever

distant galaxies paint a portrait

that reflect your likeness throughout time and space

cosmic suitors have all hedged a bet

and i go unnoticed in light of your grace

night comes to a close and you will soon be gone

but the morning sun brings his earthly tone

he seduces you with his gentle dawn

a consummation that stings me to the bone

as you become one with the morning sky

i only wish it would have been you and i
