Blandishment (Sonnet #2)

A smile, a secret, a compliment to share;
I do not fear because my heart is mine.
I'm lovely you say--my lips, my eyes, my hair;
Laughter escapes because your lust is why
You talk and dream of what you cannot have.
I walk the cobbled streets and long for home.
Flattery is why a kiss I gave--
Say goodbye and ride away alone.
What I have is all I'm living for!
My lfe is here not there, and so I know
My heart is full, there is no room for more--
I cannot chance to let my true love go.
I must say I'm happy that I'm here,
But your words will be forever dear.
