Of drawn-to
by her unrelenting charm
I will sequester my self
to pay a debt for inclusion

My first fear,
is that given pure leisure
to look upon her beauty
to that-point of sated joy

That that state will make
a princox of my heart
and in this impetuous state
past apt reason,

(which reason is necessary
in any competition, or
wise contemplation)
that my mind may cause me
to fall upon the sward
of my-own adoration

My second fear,
is that her image, against ambition
graven, indelible on mind
and my imagined presence of her
in this constant fashion,
may cause me much grief
and derivate dichotomy of will
in the instance of some other
more important vying

But, Soliloquys aside,
I who in memory
of being a small-will within
Caused my larger-will
to consciously surrender
And I changed,
and brought a true face forward
To see and be seen by her
Ecstatic beauty
