Sonnet (Eights)
Time oft leaves wounds that heal yet still remind.
slashing hurts so, when each replies in kind.
Regrets are like stagnant waters too deep
stabbing present joys and ones peaceful sleep.
O' That Time Itself Would Reverse
There in the closet, that old hat
summoning memories to dwell.
Commands obeyed and that was that
secrets, one never ever tells.
Days bright, times were not all so bad
echoes sounding, laughter and heart.
What was the rage and all the fad
"don't give a damn", was a fine start.
Now what time reveals, steals the joy
singing truth too often denied.
Wild is fun but it oft destroys
blessed love, because one lied.
O' that Time itself would reverse.
Seeing that hat, not be a curse.
R.J. Lindley,
