Guarding Her Trails

Forlorn, with only her tremulous sigh A beloved child-woman, pleasant but lost, When shadows end love’s moment to decry Resplendence of evenings… oh fate all crossed: Her once lucent essence undone this time When emptiness grasps for vaporlike air Through midnight’s taste, each bitterness a grime As pour of frothy tears spill everywhere... And marrow, veins, claim anguish deep inside Neglecting an ebullient spirit, bold That she in this lackluster room would hide Without moon with blur of secrets untold. Yet he, through mystical spell guards her ways To calm a heart as rune of light obeys. .............................. Written 1/20/2019 Submitted to John Hamilton's Best Sonnet 2019 7/08/2019 ................. ~ Beloved- 2 syls~ pure rhymes via rhymezone.com Inspiration from the Film ‘ Ghost’, Character Molly ( Demi Moore)

I love you poetry Nette - it has a tone of a true professional, a poet who has written and read poetry of each era in History, what I'm trying to say, you sound like a young female Shakespearean poet - Bravo Nette! Poetry hugs and wishes, Jennifer.
