Beautiful Scars Poet Italian Sonnet

I Believe

Can you believe that I am not afraid
when sentiments are none but what is feared.
For Christmas presents wrapped have still appeared,
and all the debt life needed has been paid.
If only my deep thoughts could be conveyed...
I may have been the one who interfered
with passionate remains that pioneered;
but I have seen the green the world has made.

My walls are lined with all the laughter worn,
the film I used became what joy could be.
I live a life in empty fields of thirst,
black rooms with withered photos lost and torn
and seeing all the waste of life’s debris;
believing in a world where peace comes first.

John Watt January 9, 2020 at 5:42 PM Lu Loo, I love seeing such carefully crafted sonnets on Soup, and yours is such a work of art! Thoughtful and wistful, I especially liked the lines "I live a life in empty fields of thirst" and "but I have seen the green the world has made". This is a gem, thank you very much for sharing. I hope there are more sonnets in your future! ~ John

Caren Krutsinger January 9, 2020 at 5:29 AM I also believe "in a world where peace comes first." We can do this, one person at at time.
