Sonnet/Loving in Secret (feat. Clare Bennett)

Loving in secret, I did silence hold
Deeming in this your clemency would dwell
For when my searching eyes on yours fell
A world of shattered dreams they did behold

I can no more. My aching love must tell
The mystery that does my heart enfold
I wish I could drown within the radiance cold
Of that sweet soul that knows my own so well

But look, my lips are parched with despair
A thirsty fever does my eyes infest
Sweet maiden, you, with long and golden hair

But let your gentle breath my anguish wrest
Your smile, with drunken joy, my soul ensnare
Oh, end my pain at last... come to my breast
