Original Sonnet:

For you, I have placed my heart on this page,
Cause I’m running out of ways to find you.
And if I never do, and hell is true,
Then at least you’ll have these words to engage:
White, black, orchid, forest, rain, to transcend
War, the ignorant, and celebrity.
So we can dance to our own melody;
And let our arms, legs, and hips, shake and bend
Around billboards, strip malls, and gas stations.
To a view that only we two can find;
Illuminating corners of the mind
That will blind the eyes of limitations.
For this kiss. Which there needs to be more of,
Cause only together, can we make love.
