NOCTURNAL SONNET FOR SYLVIA

Is the moon, mild in the mist,
A huntress with a heart of ice,
A prison of comet craters,
An orb for obvious lovers?

Poets emamoured of Phoebus
Criticise his lunar sister:
And astronomers allude
To lack of verdure in the airless vales.

What vow did Verlaine overhear,
What lamp was lit for Verlaine?
That he praised Diana's speed?

For me the moon is a coin
On the counter of the night
Buying dreams of Sylvia.


FLORAL SONNET FOR SYLVIA

The tawny bouquet on the table,
Balanced on a crystal axle,
Is the crest of autumn, ripe
Like a Venetian pastoral.

Moister flashes in the petals
Overlapping complex wheels:
Unruly silhouetted shapes,
Dark on the wall, resemble owls.

But their beauty is not final
Lacking that lyrical
Sense of order which your hands
Communicate to willing blooms:

Would you were here to double
My pleasures in. the sensual.
