Sonnet # 24
My mind can hardly make a picture-thought
Of the last time I had from women sex.
Yes, many times in tears in bed I've fought
Of human minds what's very much complex.
I miss of women's lips what's tender, sweet,
And the vague memory I've of her duct.
It pains! A woman I cannot beget.
My heart hurts much; I can't my life conduct.
A man in poverty, he does live here.
A single soul in sadness, rich in pain.
When life is up this bad, to wish death near
Is pleasant as in a dry day some rain.
It's worse than hell to have a life love bare.
My want is big, but none to come does dare.
