19-The Winter Sun Sonnet Poem by Anthony D Bailey

For Laura LB

Didst thou weave a spell that October day?
To gaol my heart in the depth of your charms.
As we danced apart excited and gay.
I would long to hold you close in my arms.
O joyful nymph, does fate unite our course?
For as one there's nothing we cannot face.
And nature could not summon such a force.
That would dare divide us whilst we embrace.
If this is love and not a dream of such.
Then for me, heaven is to be with thee.
For my heart pounds so hard it bears too much.
In those long moments until you're with me.
Say you'll be mine, and we will never part.
For when you took my hand, you took my heart.
