Silent One Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Lost To Words Poetic

Humble heart naked like a winter tree,
yearns for seasons to remain evergreen.
Furtive eyes have disturbed this reverie,
soul stands still like nonchalant figurine. 

Walking away to leave one heartbroken,
her shallow soul left no apology.
Regret kills the tongue from words unspoken,
lost are lyrics from our anthology.

Wounds so deep, nerves drown in crimson fluid,
tears bleed sorrows lost to words poetic.
Ink seeks metaphors to show whats ruined,
so the heart feels peace like an ascetic. 

In the midst of pain, veiled scars do not fade,
constant reminder of all mistakes made.

Eric Boddie January 17, 2018 at 1:40 PM lost are minds that do not work....soft are the eyes that do flirt....strong is the heart that wont give up....long is the way the confident do strut....cries haunt the one whose first response is violence....wise is the one who freely chooses silence....my brother, i am glad to see you still holding it down for the soup....great work here.... Silent One January 17, 2018 at 3:55 PM Thank you.. Nice to see you back..
