Sonnet
To see each other truly, to love each other only,
Without deceit, diversion, without shame or lies,
With no desire
eluding
us, never remorsefully,
To live as one, give the heart to every moment's flight;
To respect all thought as deeply as one plunges in,
To make of love the light of day and not a dream,
And in that clarity breathe freely forever -
So Laure sighed and sang to her lover.

suspicious
