Emperor

Emperor
Sonnet
How smoothly dost Thou my surrender wrangle,
Deftly extricating my being from all tangle.
Surreptitiously, naturally in new ways I unfold
There is nothing from Thee I can withhold.
Like a swelling sea overruns sturdy banks
My terrain flooded of Thee slowly shrinks.
Only some high outpost survives the flood
A point of observation far above the mind.
Like a petty king whose fields and fortress
Is aswarm with the conqueror’s press,
I watch as witness the vast dismantling
Of sigil and banner with Thine replacing.
O Master, when shalt Thy fervent servitor,
In heart’s sanctum crown Thee as emperor?

Habit
Sonnet
How dost thou escape every method,
Know through ages by the written word?
Word, index of thoughts well pursued,
Only a relentless chase has yet ensued!
All long training of the knowing mind,
Its intricate web can’t yet thee find.
And heart, that reluctant collaborator,
Did heave and sigh in high ardour!
Works, O works of some passable mint,
Produced in earnest and patient dint.
Will employed like a half-sure dice-roll,
An archaic device with occasional control.
All failed, the body picked now the gambit,
A new culmination births by its daily habit.
