Sonnet 1: The Colossus

Aflame, I walk towards your lovely gaze.

I dream and scream until I feel quite hoarse.

You watch me burn and keep watching, unphased.

I am mere steps away, charring, of course.

Sunlight drips from my lips as I murmur.

I have taken your traits, I want to glow.

You are my sun, and I display fervor.

Laughter dribbles from kind lips, a light “Oh?”.

I beam and flare white, bright supernova.

Can you see you in me, a mere dwarf star?

You are a colossus, and you say, “It’s over.”

Efforts amount to naught, forever marred.

All that remains aren’t even cinders.

You keep poking, but you’ve burnt the tinder.
