Sonnet #8

This time as I look up to your features
Blazoned across the sky, I know the taste
Of unrequited love. I remain chaste
For you. No other receives my gestures
Of affection. Yet your bared breast assures
Me that you lack all modesty. I baste
In anguished urges that have replaced
Natural longings. What desperate measures
Can I take to reign in your abandon,
Contain its excesses? You lack restraint
That I can provide. Do not doubt my bold
Power! I have killed the gripping python
That held earth in its coils. I see the faint
Glimmer from within your eyes smoldering cold.
