Sonnet IV
Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thy self thy beauty's legacy?
And being frank she lends to those are free;
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thy self alone,
Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive;
Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
[William Shakespeare]

Fantasy Knight
My Knight
I am waiting for my Knight
on a horse
To carry me off.
Mystic and wonderful knight.
The day breaks and my knight
has not yet arrived.
There in the field,
I picked daises
and recite
"He loves me, ...He loves me"
Never saying
"He loves me not!"
He loves me...
it's all I can say.
Then saying it again,
he takes my hand,
lifts me up,
carries me
to the horse where
we ride off into the
land of love...
Forever.
