Sonnet on a frigid Glendale Night



A hope as soft on softness intertwine
That joy take hold and love itself be cached
Like coiled tendrils binding summer vine.
In one bare moment gone. All longing dashed.

No joyous sounds of lips in quiet love.
No silent nods of passion undeclared.
Just plays and disappointed thoughts thereof
and echoes of a sloppy berry shared.

Should I have never let my shivers show
When she did tuck her shawl about my neck?
Was I a fool for saying, “please don’t go,”
To one my eyes could barely keep in check?

The silence of my room is old and small.
I slip in bed alone and make a ball.
