Wicked Love Modern Sonnet For Contest

Wicked Love (Modern Sonnet for Contest) Your step was in the doorway, sunlight dancing in the air Like a spark within an earthquake, I’m a fool without a fear Who sent you to my arms that day, a curse and smile, a tear Was it written on a page a thousand years and more To break apart my true bound heart Destroy my world of careful plans without a second glance. Naked in the dirt I fell-- a child without a chance., Your laughter never falters, never flickers a remorse, Chasing money f-cking glory, is your selfish course. A golden life, it trails you, each step -- a new reward And, leaves behind, a trampled life, a frayed and broken cord. But some old gods smile out at me through green and golden wood And life returns with sweetness to reveal a world of good.
