Phillip Garcia Poet Sonnet

Emotions To Dismiss

Though endings soon arrest litigious wrongs,
Injustice stains without impunity,
When who I’d rather share romantic songs,
Declares to God abhorrent thoughts on me;
In days from now when Marci testifies,
That evil lurks in me, a violent man,
She’ll have to look directly in my eyes,
Where she’ll see tears that still don’t understand.
My case is strong and lacks no confidence,
For truth determines judgment’s final rule,
But justice overturns by consequence,
That comes when soulmates end their vicious duel.
  I know my only choice was one to fight,
  But how can love on trial make matters right?

Agnes Krampe November 3, 2016 at 9:00 AM I admire how you manage to turn such a painful situation into such an elegant sonnet that goes beyond the personal and becomes pertinent to others. Sending good thoughts, Agnes

Chris Green November 2, 2016 at 11:18 AM Sometimes we need to fight for what we want and sometimes what we want fights us. Nicely expressed. Phillip Garcia November 2, 2016 at 5:23 PM Thank you, Chris. I appreciate your sympathies as a fellow father

Paloma P November 2, 2016 at 4:44 AM He said, she said injustices, crossing that fine line between love and hate, once you cross over, it's difficult to remember a day without conflict or the ones filled with devotion. Sadly true, but well written Phillip. Phillip Garcia November 2, 2016 at 5:25 PM Thank you ma'am. You're the one who said to write about injustice :)
