SONNET ON DESOLATION

Yon itinerates the Phoebe,

I feel not it\'s coolness

 

Sans aroma, crimson roses

That blooms within my seraglio,

 

Sun that giveth radiance

Scorches me not!

 

Lacks shade, the trees

Where I stand.

 

When damsels embrace me

Ne’er am I in lust,

 

Though posset I do drink 

It embitters my tongue,

 

Sans my Psyche - this terra

Is inferno unto me.
