Ninety-degree turn at the speed of light

Doth blindside me outside my lover's sight

Your red-shift, complementing me, askew

Begs greenlight's tuning frequency with you

My angstroms shine upon reluctant ohms

Yet variegated hues bring forth the foam

Resistance wanes, dark shadows do reverse

And ionize mine eyes—with yours, converse

Your rainbows weld in arcs that open eyes

So now I see you where you're wont to fly

Your visions, loveliness, shan't limit gaze

Another sense espies in other ways

One faculty be light, that shows you home to me

But taste and fragrance, songs and touch, too, see

Sonnet
