July Sonnet #4

There still remains the chance that all’s for naught:
I’m wasting life by dreaming of our love,
As if the fortunes that I read are fraught
With horribly perceived predictions of
The ways the stars above our heads align;
And I may write myself the tender fool
Who, though astute, in such a way was blind
To all the chance that fate has to be cruel.
I don’t agree with such a tortured way
Of looking at the world that carries me:
A man who loves, believes, and does not stray,
Is his own master for eternity.
If all this arrogance is my downfall,
So let it be, for you are worth it all.

July/Feb
