Joseph May Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Brokenhearted Orbits

The crescent moon has hid from me its glow
 And stars have lost their twinkle in the sky
 My broken heart floats in this celestial throe
  As the goddess Venus flickers with a sigh

 The heavens tell me love is lost
 As I orbit a galaxy of broken hearts
 The price of love comes with a heavy cost
  For when it's lost I fall apart
 
 A distant galaxy where love can find a chance
 Beckons to me in this ethereal night
 It pulls me in with a gravity of romance
 And leads me closer to love's light

  But as the crescent moon comes into view
 It reminds me how much I miss you
                          -~-
