Seasons of Love

Although for you with all my heart I loved, now my forever burning shaming pain, my heart an unexpected dagger shoved, stunted minds confusion, waves of disdain. Long Winter nights, sheltered you with my warm, joyous moments of Spring, truly embraced, Summers of heat and shine, our loves platform, Autumn abrupt fall from seasons, now faced. Togetherness a shoot for us adorned, blooming sprouts developing as promised, all blossoms thistles abound, never warned, my love and care given never sufficed. Separate paths, inevitable now, my child’s tears but her happiness I vow. 11/22/2016

A beautiful but emotional sonnet.I guess there are many who can relate to your lines after the break up of a relationship. I especially love the third stanza with the portrayal of the seasons to your relationship:-) good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx
