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! :-)
