Love is nothing but sleep and drink and meat To quench that strong craving deep in the pit Love is nothing more but mere candies sweet Inside, that bitter taste that make us spit Love is nothing but cold yet warm a spark To set alit thousands of flambeaus, **** That once stood tall, frozen in the cold dark Once lit, it shall melt to vicissitude And to wend both either way is despair One more woe-fraught than all the other ways One cold, one hot, too hot to even bear Colder than winter, hotter than dog days And if love is just mere food for the mind I’d eat something else, of another kind

Sonnet II
Love is nothing but sleep and drink and meat To quench that strong craving deep in the pit Love is nothing more but mere candies sweet Inside, that bitter taste that make us spit Love is nothing but cold yet warm a spark To set alit thousands of flambeaus, **** That once stood tall, frozen in the cold dark Once lit, it shall melt to vicissitude And to wend both either way is despair One more woe-fraught than all the other ways One cold, one hot, too hot to even bear Colder than winter, hotter than dog days And if love is just mere food for the mind I’d eat something else, of another kind
