Sonnet to Defeat Evanescence

 The Book of Possibilities |
For aught that I was fond in my schooling
And opened books as eager as a Dean
O'er my head I find my heart is ruling
And else but love takes on a paler sheen
For head o'er heart's only logic fooling
The truth is folly over sense will win
And like a lion turned to kitten mewling
Will find folly to desire closest kin
As kingdoms kings in chaos unruling
As rivers are in springtime all in flood
As time and tide leave sands only cooling
So thoughts of you will never cool my blood
Oh be thou not evanescent but stay
Beside me here forever and a day
(From the Spiral Journal, written in a Spiral)
Picture the poem as a double spiral, the first part beginning in the centre and spiralling outwards to join the second part, spiralling back in)
