Sonnet ~~"NOMMA INNOMINATA" #1 From First-Sight, Through Now-Sight, to End-of-Sight, I Love You.

O, wait for me, I will return; Love, wait!

see not one setting sun but my vow hear!

And rising morn-sun shall my words keep dear:

O wait for me, Love ; Truth has bound our fate.



While waiting, lover, know this: our dreams state

that Time is Love's best ally, un-worth fear.

For but a touch, a glance, a promise near,

doth re-affirm Fidelity; Love, wait!



My anxious soul loves aching, in Love's spell.

There's nothing to compare, when feelings meet,

of satisfaction, with requitement sweet!



Such passion we could never disavow!

You stated, I confessed, all Love could tell.

O, wait for me, as Love alone knows how.

Wow! There are not sufficient words in English (and I have only twelve or so words of Koine Greek) to describe the beauty and splendor of this triumphant poem.
