Sanctioned Soul

Sanctioned Soul

Dormant eyes never soundly sleep
For they only wake a wasteful weep
Transient thoughts that fill my head
Only keep the memories fiercely fed

Torrential tears of loves first sting
A conquered heart of early spring
My spirit scorned with every hour
As loves venom spreads sacredly sour

Oh holy and ambiguous nestled night
I take comfort in your scintillate sight
For I am always falling in a pitiless pit
Within the seductive silence sinful sit

The Bells of Death have wrung their toll
As I entomb my slaved sanctioned soul.

Fantastic artwork. Good sonnet. Loves should have an apostrophe. What, exactly, is a sanctioned soul? Congrats! :-)

WW, firstly love the pic you are very talented! "within the seductive silence sinful sit"...says so much in such few words. Sometimes we feel our spirit scorned with every hour...congratulations on your placement and thank you for being a part of my contest! :)-luloo
