Untitled Sonnet #1

O wondrous lass, of whom I am so fond, Shall our acquaintance meet romantic end? Electric spark: the crisp emotion bond? Shall I ever to you be more than friend? Your sunbeam smile sets my heart alight; It's effortless, the way you heart-string me. My courage wanes, or else I'd call tonight Requesting partnership eternally. Devoted, true: I'd never look askance, At cheap and tawdry, hedonistic fun. But I cannot pawn friendship for romance? In my attempt for more, end up with none. Of my desires deep I dare not tell Though love's a flame one cannot ever quell.
