An Acrostic Sonnet

How can words woo the Goddess of Wisdom

On any time no matter the aeon

With love for the Olympian system

Courting hopeless with an inner neon

Athena my love upon awaking

Neologised by blissful reveries

Wooed in turn by your heavenly aching

Overwhelmed by deific memories

Reading my words I know that I wrote them

Destitute of anything physical

Subpoenaed those moribund within M

Who opted to sing to the mystical

Organising two lives instead of one

Orders the Cosmos to be almost none
