SONNET VI

(June 27 1997, Beijing)

I know, heart has been fighting with poor mind
Almost after first I caught of thy sight
Day by day my heart is only thee to find
outrunning facts this small mind keeps to fight
Repeats mind to escape thee, but can n'ver
Exchanging for thy love I may lose grace
Quandom lover stay in heart forever
In arms wish I always thee embrace
Up in heaven Zeus can see my dismay
Mind too full ev'n a place for thee to hind
Empty heart needs for only thee to take away
If there is God, why He is so unkind?

Ye Gods! Thou take my heart whe'ver thou go,
Yes, mind has lost as I adore thee so.
