Victor Buhagiar Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

I Need a Change

With pain I gasp but something must be done,
I need to breathe again soft, dewy dawn,
Not grieve alone upon a setting sun,
Whisper and pray that sadness will be gone.

I have often tried to utter goodbye,
I tried my best to forget the past, but
Thoughts murmur “All's lost”.  My heart and mind sigh.
Change seems impossible, I'm in a rut.

Day after day, this soul breaking routine,
Gone are sweet days of happiness and joy
Many events have happened in between
Our love, I assure you, none can destroy.

Yet time has come, leave sadness and enjoy,
Walk, dance, swim and behave like a young boy.
