sonnet to _____

that night when first your presence graced the stage
all reason & logic abandoned me
helpless, i gazed upon your visage
and to the boatman of the styx paid my fee
fixed upon your every graceful action
my heart was cursed to an eternal hope
your simple beauty inspired passion
driving my calm soul with wild dreams elope
& for a moment your eyes did meet mine
its sweet, pure tenderness bewitched my soul
for a night and a day my heart was thine
till the weight of reality took its toll

____ will my charms your heart assail
or is this flight of fancy doomed to fail

WORK in progress
if poetry is truly
the expression
of thought and emotion
then this
is far inadequate
it does
no justice
to the matter at hand
but ah well
is the structure even correct?
