Anthi's Left Hand

A One-Sided Sonnet

I will not mention her right hand, I did

Since ’tis her left hand that I often hold

When we walk together from here to there

To usually end up back in our bed.

Glee engulfs me as I feel like a kid

Who has learned to love her and become bold

Whenever she smiles or turns red somewhere

After I touch her beauty in my head.

I feel her love shining through her right lid

Illuminating my heart’s Anthi mould

When she looks at me as if in a dare

To tell her what there is now to be said.

O Anthi Kanéna, my chest is full

And with you, I always feel wonderful.
