A Cafe Glace Sonnet

Маленький Принц
January 23rd, 2015


Whatever cloud dims our constellation –
It’s soon dispelled, by reason and by love.
Forgive my childish temper, lack of patience;
If truth be told, I lack the words – aloud

My feeling to confess in vivid colors…
Yes, even I – with all the frills of rhyme.
But know this: I’m yours to serve and follow
So long as stars and planets go round.

Please sometimes trust my wit and my endeavors
Remember this: without you life is bland.
Too deep a pit is blame to go delving,
Much better admiration, spoken, clad

In beauty of these eyes of yours – so bright.
And know the simple truth: you’re always right…
