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... Contemporary Sonnet July 5, 2021

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.................

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!

Relationships are definitely complicated. Artistically expressed.

A very moving + memorable sonnet. The final two lines are tinged with regret when we leave thoughts unspoken. A superb write! Best wishes, Brian

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 :)
