A Sonnet For Kasia On Her Wedding

A Sonnet for Kasia on her wedding When I consider women I have known And I assess the way my love has grown That this short space of time has changed so much Where both my hand and yours have been in touch When I recall a colleague years ago The seeds of sympathy did in Stuttgart sow A carnal wish for you I dare express But in our shared religion must repress My wife, my child they give such happiness Please God – like ours- your marriage He will bless With joy and children and a peaceful home Where doubt, depression, shame and boredom cannot roam For Kasia I have felt the fruits of friendship grow so strong I pray we’ll work together and be true friends for long

Okay, feelings are like wild horses if not tamed. You have very respectfully explained your love for a friend. And love is such a broad concept. But still, there are rules. And you respected them in your poem. I love it.

Thanks so much Wendy for the comment. You understood exactly how I felt here. Sex is such a wild horse isn't it? And yet no matter how attracted we are to friends we must keep control especially if we are married
