Thoughts of You (Asean Sonnet)
How do I make my feelings loud and clear
in social chaos wrought by hate and fear
and voices seem to fade beyond the ear?
How do I tell of love so very dear
without the aid of Cupid's mighty spear?
My silent eyes refuse another tear
nor seek the answers found in cloudy beer
to state my love may see my heart appear.
A sonnet brings my thoughts for you to hear,
when love, I cannot hold or bring you near,
these words I write reveal my heart's sincere
and pray, my love, they bring your eyes some cheer.
Hence to this end I can but persevere
and use my pen and ink to find love's sphere.
