Sonnet 2
Is love a thing you say? Is it built by words?
Perhaps it barely hears our woeful cries,
A piece of breeze flying on with the birds,
Who takes our dances, leaving us our lives.
Or is love eyes that can't stop looking?
A rush of pulse and quick little breaths,
A passion all yours that's never dancing
Long, a lesson in hope and guiltless sex.
Or is love what older people call their youth,
From forty years and fifty gins created?
You went away, that's my only real truth
Yet something keeps you inside my head.
I couldn't build a love, didn't know how,
I'll love you without love, starting from now.
Perhaps it barely hears our woeful cries,
A piece of breeze flying on with the birds,
Who takes our dances, leaving us our lives.
Or is love eyes that can't stop looking?
A rush of pulse and quick little breaths,
A passion all yours that's never dancing
Long, a lesson in hope and guiltless sex.
Or is love what older people call their youth,
From forty years and fifty gins created?
You went away, that's my only real truth
Yet something keeps you inside my head.
I couldn't build a love, didn't know how,
I'll love you without love, starting from now.
