Thy Bargains

Thy Bargains
SonnetâââAn Invocation to The Master #200
How quaint are Thy bargains with me,
An unequal commerce Thou dost conduct,
Bartering my littleness proffered to Thee
With priceless measures of Thine exact.
A mind like an artisanâs weighing thought
For ideal and force carefully precise,
Braiding my acts like a jeweller his craft,
Granted in lieu of my erring penance.
And the heart, oh the heart that can feel
A greater spectrum of passion and love,
Magnificent and pure as a rose surreal
In an unlikely space of my unkept grove.
Yet it is only by Thy unthinking bargain
Earth nature attain Thee O my Master divine!
What Hope

What Hope
SonnetâââAn Invocation to The Master #244
Who is it that has entered my beingâs night,
Whose the masked face that sabotages so,
Who scuttles my hopes to hopeless dust,
Whose the hand that mars all my cares?
I am robbed of myself leaving only silence,
My lips lie mute shorn of its lone song,
The heart to repay earth debt yet beats,
Mind in muse canât even a murmur bring.
My fingers are divorced from dayâs purpose,
The feet are bound by a futilityâs chain,
The hours sneer in contempt as they pass,
My brows must bear this bitter crown.
What hope to the worlds that in ruins lie
When Thy sons are denied a kindly eye?!
