John Gondolf Poet Terza Rima

I Wonder

I wonder why on winter night so cold
as darkness looms and daylight takes her bow
that I am feeling loneliness take hold.

I wonder what it is she’s doing now;
perhaps she’s letting poetry console
emotions that her life does not allow.

I wonder why I feel I’ve lost control
and wishing that forever I could flee
these torrid storms that start to fill my soul.

I wonder if she ever thinks of me
and wishes we could make a brand new start;
or if, from love, she’s happy to be free.

My storms are raging since we’ve been apart;
I wonder if it’s raining in her heart.

Lin Lane January 12, 2020 at 9:50 AM I've felt the depth of such pain, John, for I've fallen prey to those same despondent thoughts. I wrote a similar poem some time ago. Your last couplet is amazing. Lin Lane January 13, 2020 at 4:24 AM No, you didn't, John. They come unbidden when I least expect them. Thank you for your concern. Hugs back to you.
