Sonnet 056

I’m hungry for love, thirst for sweet lips’ kisses
That seems only the righteous greed on Earth
We men praise, lust and sanctify it as the truth
Confucius says: “Appetite and Sex are Nature.”
And I must confess I’ve never been in love
Never held hand, locked eye, nor sensual hug
Embarrassed I am, a loser in definition, poor me
Yet I still believe love deserves life’s sacrifice
In this vast bitter turning sea we roll on waves
Praying to reach that final shore beyond horizon
Our whole lifetime is trying, going somewhere
Somehow we land in love and then we are home
Barren winters and blossom springs
With love everything is meaningful.
