Ink Empress Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Written for the contest sponsored by sotto poet 

Poetic Dreams

My ink keeps bleeding your sweet name tonight
Whilst this heart's pleading time to sprinkle light
Silent hummingbirds beneath starless skies
Weave misty metaphors through midnight eyes

Will roses ever be a kind mentor
When fate unfolds a sharp thorny traitor
Can love resketch hereafter through brushstrokes
Interpreting fields where twin flame evokes

An immortal enticing bonfire 
as angels of romance ascend higher
I yearn to feel your poetic veins near 
realizing there's no sign of you, here

Without us, this quill refuses to rhyme 
distance between oceans remain a crime

Sara Kendrick September 24, 2023 at 7:23 AM Ahhh!! Romantic and sad at the same time. Sometimes the desire to be with a loved one is overwhelming because it seems it is ripping our hearts out being away from the ones we love. I enjoyed reading this one today. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Hiya Sharma September 19, 2023 at 5:49 AM Wow, this sonnet is so heartfelt and soulful whist painting such evocative shades of emotions.. I love the opening stanza, so creatively done! And this line "will roses ever be a kind mentor" Ahh, the questioning is so palpable.. Can love prove its essence once again and flourish in a broken heart? Can it resketch faith and hope on our souls? Ah.. Just so breathtaking.. "I yearn to feel your poetic veins near realizing there's no sign of you" The yearning comes with melancholy.. And that ending! Ink Empress September 21, 2023 at 1:36 AM Awwn thank you beautiful angelic star Hiya Sharma September 19, 2023 at 5:52 AM Best of luck for the contest, my dear!
