Sonnet --on What Other Theme but Love of Some Kind

Deonils
Building a relationship (sonnet)

Today, a month before my big birthday

Tempted to begin a gift by this hand

Why I retreated from the brink of play

Escapes heart of this good, experienced man!

Are you alone, armed with journal and pen?

Like me, not lonely, nor ready to jump...

Now heart pumps questions with galactic bang:

Are you game, kind, with the heart of a champ?

Pens rain rivers of romance from you, me...

Age cautions our kind have limitations

Specifications for hair, eyes, degree ...

Sage smiles on our fortune; loving patience

may sow seeds of our re-generation:

Giant beanstalks; magical fruition?
