How I sought sleep to ward off thoughts of you, <br />All rapping, tapping my door while I toss, <br />Just like the raven of the Poet Poe, <br />Or thoughts imploring of Lenore, his loss; <br />The night had me, from cup of Absinth sip, <br />As though your kiss, left in the cup, has soured, <br />As though some sadness held me in its grip, <br />That all my mirth, by such sadness, devoured; <br />But when you called to kiss the cup anew, <br />No spirits filled it better to compare, <br />Could Dionysus have such wine to show, <br />If making it required pure hearts that care? <br />…….With many faults my door has erred before, <br />…….But opening, let you leave, nevermore.<br /><br />Reyvrex Questor Reyes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-sonnet-202-how-i-sought-sleep-to-ward-off-thoughts-of-you/
