May I Never Know

For summer love’s return of wintry stone That shattered panes upon forevers clear, And drifted thoughts that travel life alone, But reckoned twice unhinged to hold you near; For victims lost within my violent quake Those now, before, and still tomorrows too, When only once increased so did my wake, As did my currents’ thirst again for you; For that I sought remembrance through a kiss, In hopes to stir romantic scenery, Wherein exists desires inspired by bliss, To make anew exhausted greenery; By lines confined shall my despair remain, That may I never know of your disdain. 8/28/2016

Well done Phillip, a sonnet-ic expose of "the other side of love". The meter, rhyme and subtle metaphor masterfully intertwined. Thanks for participating in the contest.

Thank you John. It's fun have such freedom from the sponsor. Naturally I took your freedom and ran right back into Th safety of my sonnet box but it was refreshing still to breathe the outside air if just for a moment

Thank you Sandra. I've been trying working on portraying emotions in a manner more like you do so those words mean a lot. Thank you again

When I finished reading this all I could do was sigh. Phillip, this is beauty even in the realm of sadness.

Thank you Ms Lane I appreciate that. I worry sometimes that if I ever cheer up I'll start writing total poo again
