Time crawls by
minutes drip slowly
into hours
Endless loops of waiting
aching for the rejoining
the return of life
No end in sight
hopeless days fade
into distraught nights
Awaiting the light
the return of warmth
the security of strong arms
Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Time crawls by
minutes drip slowly
into hours
Endless loops of waiting
aching for the rejoining
the return of life
No end in sight
hopeless days fade
into distraught nights
Awaiting the light
the return of warmth
the security of strong arms
