Sweet new
Style for a bard
Florentine: love exists
In hearts gentle, virtuous, and
Noble.

Ever More

Ever
More wander I
Through fields of thorns that rip
My gentle heart and bring my eyes
To tears.

Arrows
And slings of bard,
You sting my soul so deep.
Outrageous fortune? When will you
Depart?

Eyes of Love

I sense
Peaceful being
When I gaze into your
Eyes: sparkling-hued orbs entrance my
Hungry

Soul. Then
You smile at me,
Refresh my yearning
Heart with Cupid's sweet desire---love
Released!

How do
I love you? The
Ways have been counted. Why
Do I love you? Because you
Are you!

Hushed Room

Silence
Sudden pervades
The air when she appears:
Beauteous vision, presence of
Delight.
