Sonnet~ 1 # From first sight, through now sight, to end of sight; I Love You. On "MONNA INNOMINATA

  

O, wait for me; I will return. Love, WAIT !

See not a setting sun but my vow hear!

And rising morn-sun shall my words keep dear:

"O, wait for me, love!"  Truth has bound our fate.

while waiting, lover, know this:  our dreams state

that time is our best ally,  un-worth fear;

for but a touch, a glance, a promise near

doth reaffirm Fidelity.  Love, wait !

My anxious soul loves longing in Love's spell.

There's nothing to compare when feelings meet

in satisfaction.  O, requitement sweet !

Such passion we could never disavow!

You stated, I confessed; all Love could tell.

O, wait for me, as Love alone knows how.
