Craig Cornish Poet Sonnet

Blinded Love

You crept behind a tear where passion slept,
longing where dreams lie wide awake
and blind to desires hidden in view, yet
- you look through and see only mistakes.
Like the melody of a love song
when the lyrics are all that will soothe
a broken soul lost for so long
- the sound and rhythm so impossible to lose.
In the arms of tomorrow you dance
to our song, while I cannot see
the hopelessness that lingers in one last chance
- for something that can never be...
So many wishes have faded away since I
became too blind to say...goodbye...

Paula Goldsmith August 25, 2021 at 11:14 AM Congratulations on your win. What a creative story/write. Love your line "In the arms of tomorrow you dance to our song," They say, Love can be blind and it can be. Have a blessed day.................

Charlotte Puddifoot August 25, 2021 at 5:39 AM there's no denying this is a very well written sonnet, and maybe i placed it slightly lower because the subject matter is more traditional, but it's a very romantic, poignant write..this was a very difficult contest to judge as i had some really excellent entries - congrats on your win!

Christuraj Alex August 25, 2021 at 5:18 AM You crept behind a tear where passion slept - Beautiful. Congratulations on your win!

Richard Lamoureux July 9, 2021 at 5:41 PM Relationships are definitely complicated. Artistically expressed. Craig Cornish July 11, 2021 at 7:20 AM Thanks so much Richard

Brian Sambourne July 7, 2021 at 8:19 AM A very moving + memorable sonnet. The final two lines are tinged with regret when we leave thoughts unspoken. A superb write! Best wishes, Brian Craig Cornish July 11, 2021 at 7:20 AM Thank you Brian

Susan Woodrow July 6, 2021 at 3:07 PM very nice! I like the flow as Jo says but your two opening and ending lines are especially good and the way you use the dash at the lines that emphasize the preceding ones very effectively :) Craig Cornish July 6, 2021 at 3:44 PM Hey Lady - thanks - seems you've been enjoying life to the max - GOOD!

Joanna Daniel July 5, 2021 at 9:27 PM An excellent sonnet that flows in its beautiful sadness, Craig, love that first two lines:) Craig Cornish July 6, 2021 at 6:19 AM Very kind Jo - thank you
