By all the means and for all the while
My goal is simple, your forever smile
That boundless grin, from cheek to cheek
Alongside twinkles, unabashed, peaked
But in roundabout ways, you dash, woe
Fettered with muckalucks and dowdy throes
Causing that grin to doddle sideways
A look you try to address on nigh days
But tossing and tumbling is not your role
You should enjoy a sweeter suite of something woah
Tiaras and trinkets and cowls and hoops
Daisies and wands and boppity boop
But of the things that will one day crown your head
All you need right now is to say hello in red
- Huy Hong
Its far beyond my scope of reasoning
If I could make a drink of you,
I often wake subdued from some dream’s dew,
If I could have the best of you,
I met her lovely smile again tonight,
Oh hey! Your soul is out again tonight.
I have a lingering fear that I am no longer capable of writing a sonnet. The words have stopped coalescing the way they used to. And I’m not sure whether that’s such a bad thing.
I’m only 26 :/. I got time… I think.
