"Thoughts, Wishes & Sonnets"
7 expressions of fatuos expectations
Exclusively for "Alexander the Great"

Paintings by
Alphonse Maria Mucha

   Pointlessly looking; in what direction?
   Far and wide, no certain place.
   Thoughts are lost; searching.
   Trying to grasp - only emptiness.
   An ache from within, a heartache?
   Ah, beyond -
   My soul weeps; a reverie? an enigma?
   If it happens, there is bliss.
   And when it fails, there is anguish.
   So much longing your eyes can't see
   An offer of tenderness your mind refuses.
   To what end?
   T ' is I know -
   The spirit feels, it does not feign
