Love Sonnet

Alright Brian, you asked for it, here's the Love Sonnet I promised
you.

Love Sonnet

I walked into the room and, ere my eyes
Adjusted to the light, beheld your fire.
Oh lovely one, please hear my tender sighs
And know from now I have but one desire,

To place a rosebud in your gentle hand,
To glean a smile to use to light my way.
Above that I would make no more demand,
Yet have the sun shine on each humble day.

Then I would pass beyond your shining sphere
And have great wealth within my memory
And cherish every moment, sweet and clear;
The rose, your hand and when you smiled at me.

And I would lay my heart there at your feet
Knowing that my life is now complete.
