Sonnet XXI -Für Elise
Evie Metz
To admit it was to be on fire—
A relief—and a release from prison:
A confrontation starting with ire
Seceded to yearning and submission.
How frantic, still, and humble those words came
As desperation—in tears—was revealed;
An esctasy shared o’er th’ordeal—the same
Garden—graced with a lace—which had been sealed.
Pleasure and prosterity were derived
From said fervent, honest conversation;
These hopes and prayers are to be believed,
And steps within the heart made with caution.
Amidst the torrent, torment ev’ning, peace
Is found with shaking hands, telling Elise.
