Transposing Hopes, Desire Distorts The Sight Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Transposing Hopes, Desire Distorts The Sight



Pushed sudden through perception’s door at dawn,
small slip white
shook his senses unprepared. Took by storm,
banished night.

He thought a not was inched beneath the door,
rose with a start,
sweet repetition of the night before,
pounding heart.

But cruel tricks are played by love and light.
Thus he wrote:
Transposing hopes, desire distorts the sight.
Heart-strings smote.
