Manya Saxena Poet Free verse

A Battle Lost

There was no wind in sight,
No flowers to bloom,
There was just cold silence,
It so happened that night. 

A text message that sighed,
Unbelievable it seemed,
With each word in that sentence,
The heart rustled in fright. 

The gut stuck on might,
Brain, in shambles, eyes drenched,
Denial ringing the doorbell,
It so happened that night.

A life for his plight, 
Dreams gone to waste,
He wrote his last good-bye,
While he got quite. 

His world loosing all light,
Questioning the human existence,
His testament cried mercy,
It so happened that night.

I wonder if we'd ever unite,
In another realm, It seems,
Things I'd do differently,
For the soul lost in the fight. 

Those who dream, lied,
In the memory of him, they mourn,
A wager of war, soldiers waiting,
It so happened that night.

Silent One October 14, 2020 at 11:47 AM Deep poem... This is not a sonnet. If you ar ensure what form to use then always use free verse as that's ok for almost all... Manya Saxena October 14, 2020 at 9:48 PM Thank you and yes, I am aware of it but this is La'tuin which is not categorically mentioned in the list and sonnet is closest to what La'tuin is, so I took the chance.
