Hidden

Her eyes sparkled as if from wine,
But it was early in the day.
I could near feel her lips on mine,
But she made no effort to stay.

Her feelings hidden somewhere deep
Within her mysterious soul .
She turned to walk as if in sleep,
And left me there alone and cold.

She had buried our only chance
Beneath some dark and hidden past.
As I looked on a dead romance,
And pondered the die she had cast.

Was it love that she had hidden?
What role was this I'd been bidden?

I don't know about hybronnets Larry but it would make a darn good 8 syllable sonnet! Well done:)

Thanks, Daniel! I don't see the difference either, but that was the definition under Forms?
