Love Sonnet

I love you he says, with my head upon his breast, breathing

One hand in mine, the other playing with my tangled hair

His heartbeat, in time with mine stops and starts, quickening

As sounds, distant they may be, creep and moan in despair

And he looks at me, smile moving across his doting face

In his eyes, laughter, grinning ‘coz he wants to, ‘coz he can

Holding on to me, tightening his powerful embrace

Strobe lighting, gunshot, mournful weep of a fictional man

So the film begins, murder, mayhem, malice and jealousy, sigh

Despair, turmoil, and just a hint of shame, Dr Evil is back!

With all the goodies, and the baddies, no one can deny

The silhouette of forces foe, just action it does lack

So hold me close, and whisper to me, of times that have gone past

Now turn to me, and look at me, and kiss me now. At last!
