97. on EBB. Sonnet Inevitability of Truest Love. On: Sonnets From The Portuguese"

Love seeks no glory---or, perhaps goes seeking

only meagre glories of Love's consumate schemes

of the possible : Its fond hopes, fonder dreams,

which have not end, have only their beginning.



Love exists with a sole demon:  Uncertainty!

But I know what it is my love and I wanted,

yet my love lay unseen, so unrequited,

and the doubt of "Who, How, When?" has no Pity!



Such a vast array, my heart's voices.

But a sad untold theme and rhyme are mine,

which are un-coursed, un-needed for all time:

there are only  "bad"  or  "worse"  choices!



But after all un-necessary steps are removed,

the smoothest, fairest path is towards my beloved.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

"The path of true love ne'er runs smooth."
