My Yearnings

My Yearnings Sonnet I can’t remember that very moment as when her sudden glance flashed on my heart. Days, months, years passed, I could not recollect. Screen of forgetfulness hang to obstruct. No other glances touched or appealed mind. I desired, yearned only for those two eyes. Time advanced, I left my feelings behind. Just a glance was enough to mesmerize. I waited, waited and waited so long. Buds of my passion never bloomed but dried. My wounded heart pretended to be strong, showing smile on face, but silently cried. A free bird spread wings in open wide sky. and could not be bounded by social tie. First Place Sonnet contest by Eve Roper First Place CONTEST NO.495 by Brian Strand
