Constance La France Poet Sonnet

Every Second, Hour Forever

 
Though love is cut deep in stone forever,
you will be with me till my closing sigh;
such promise- your demise will not sever,
so, I will not utter the word goodbye.

Our first sweet kiss left this girl quite wondrous,
oh, your deep strong voice- music for my soul;
within me loud throbbing, drumming thundrous,
I knew without you I could not be whole.

So, I will hold our deep love evermore
oh, I whispered this promise to your tomb;
now, nightly the ink night skies- we explore,
you exist in soft hues of twilight gloom.

This love torments my every living hour
oh, grief in the end-   will my soul devour.

John Watt August 29, 2020 at 8:48 PM Constance, your sonnet is so carefully crafted and speaks so poetically of the eternal nature of true love, even after death. Simultaneously heartrending and heartwarming. To do this all with the constraints of the lipogram is all the more impressive, I sense a strong case for a top win. Enjoyed reading your creative talent tonight.
