Sonnet for ---- (2005)


When you come floating down those stairs

You are the answer to my prayers

And then you flash your little smile-

Half acknowledgement, half surprise

As if you knew but didn't expect

Such desire, such awe, such respect!





Later on, I wonder why,

I know it's hopeless but I

Can only see you then,

Entranced, beguiled but when

We say goodbye and walk away

I know it's right what they all say

But I shall still be waiting here

With love and hope and trust and fear
