Sonnet 4 - Mirrors

See me just so: Strong and sure, the answer
and equal to any need, bold and brave.
Then see me a lover: lusty, tender
and soft of heart and speech when that will serve.

I’d have all my thoughts thought brilliant - shot through
with wild white lightning, daring, inspiring.
I’d be seen as lovely as I see you:
a clear, clean joy; heart of hope; beguiling.

See me, dream me, make me. We envision
heroes, lovers, and gods to people our
days and beds, to meet and match our passion.
Expectancy can realize desire.

Your eyes are mirrors. There, I see a man
built for ages, created by woman.


((Challenge Words: brilliant, strong, soft, lovely, brave, inspiring, hope))
