Sotto Poet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Love

Written: April 28, 2024, For Constance la France Contest

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love.
Sophocles, Greek Poet  

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One word cures all life's queries and distress,
While we indulge in our quest toward bliss.
Pure, lush love imparts delight and success,
Amidst life's winding path, may run amiss.

Love protects us from dread and disarray,
Serve awful time, lead us across the storm.
Love allows us to face fear and dismay,
Merry love is merely drawn in free form.
Embrace who allows us to tame our fears,
The fleeting light of our souls burns all time.
And foster kinship, swipe nerve-wracking tears,
We cry such babies, dull for bliss, sublime.

We descry solace in qualm and sadness,
While we sink in state of auric aptness.

While love can help us get through the difficult times, you give me the impression it's not a miracle cure. You make me reflect that life is a mixed blessing with many ups and downs. You are so very thought provoking!!

Vijay Pandit April 29, 2024 at 4:38 AM Beautiful sentiments, my friend. Much enjoyed the voice of your poem, Lasaad.

Victor Buhagiar April 29, 2024 at 2:19 AM What a great poem for the contest. It will rate high. You captured the synthesis of the quote so well. Best for a win.

Valsa George April 28, 2024 at 9:04 PM "Love protects us from dread and disarray, Serve awful time, lead us across the storm. Love allows us to face fear and dismay, Merry love is merely drawn in free form." Love is best defined through these lines. Love is the panacea to all human ills. It is true that love swipes away nerve wracking tears. Your rhyming is perfect. So you'll always be so good at sonnets. I am sure Constance will love this. All the best dear friend.
