A sonnet written by

Kerry aka The Pet

 

If ever I could utter those few words

Caught for half a lifetime in my heart

My entreaties to you never would be heard

Or worse, would draw our tangled paths apart.

Can such passion be called merely devotion -

The strength and beauty of Platonic love?

Or is there in my soul greater emotion,

Dark desire I cannot rise above?

What would you say, my friend, my heart's companion,

If these words would ever reach your ears?

It torments me to imagine a reaction

That would after all be constant with my fears.

Though ever shall I love, I'll silent be,

While in my dreams, you shall ever love me.
