A sonnet for April

Every nowand then I post one of my sonnets here.  This one's for April.

"In the shadows of the stage lights"


A sharp excursion from expected norms
beneath the placid bland exterior
which I present; their unencumbered forms
beguile, bewitch and fascinate the roar
of singing blood and ringing raging need
Which heretofore I have mosttimes suppressed.
I am too bound by knowledge and my creed
to deviate intensely - so expressed
in eyeful adulation is the grain
of brotherhood and manhood to be joined
with bared connubiality - the sane
dimensions of intention have been coined
in mint condition, like my own, so bright
exposure hides me from inquiring light.
