Impossible dream for M'lady Poppy

sonnet

Impossible dream.

 

Methinks thou art more beautiful

than human eyes have right to see.

Thy beauty cast a spell on me.

Each time I see thee I am full.

 

Of dreams I know cannot come true

Because I am of low estate.

I try my hardest not to show.

Although I would not hesitate

 

But fate decreed that thou should be

As far above me as a star

So I must love thee secretly

 Condemned to worship from afar.

 

If I were rich then I would be

Allowed to voice my love for thee

Another good one!! I'm so glad Tate posted his poem about you that led me to your writings, and I wish I had time to sit here and continue reading. Alas, the chores of Christmas preparation demand my attention today, but I look forward to coming back and reading more. I really enjoyed this lovely, sad piece.
