Caught in my Compact
Terza Rima Sonnet
Caught in my Compact
Wade through the squalor, shaken and straining
Consciously, Head held high, anticipating
Storm breaks overhead and now ‘tis raining
Movement round me sluggish, on nerves, grating
Breathe deeply now, settling apprehension
Yet my heart is open, anticipating
Mind deliberates on my perception
Rain still gently falls and I absorb it

Glimpsing a bench, I walk over and sit
Sensations are strong, you come nearer
I close my eyes lean back, snooze for a bit
Open my compact, catch you in mirror

To end it all
Terma Riza Sonnet
To end it all
That place I’ve never been, I crave to be
It beckons me, and I approach, intent
It’s rumbling coaxing, draws me, to the sea
Feral waves, the deep sea creatures scent
I long to ride upon its surface, smooth
The wasted time that I have over spent
The raging wind has robbed me of my youth
Long nights have lent no passion to my soul
Within her depths shall find eternal truth
Not for my sake this day shall the bell toll
The soothing rocking on the forceful waves
As o’er the edge I peer to see my goal
Find I, peace, beneath in scenic caves
Embracing, plunge to my watery grave

Lavishing warmth, her shades of color blend
To my surroundings a peaceful sense supply
A new beginning, we must gently tend
Outstretched hand subconscious it is seeking
My censored thoughts, to you will freely lend
Thoughts, clandestine, creep in, slowly sneaking
I, now await, your arcane reaction
While through ten fingers, blue eyes are peaking
How can one explain this mute attraction?
As you approach me, heat intensifies
If we should touch we’ll find satisfaction
