She a Flower So Delicately Blown

She A Flower So Delicately Blown Hath there been far more kinder words I said in my deep-fired angry accusations. Our romance would have carried on instead of this dark dungeon of deprivations! Our first dance had given such treasured fruits birthing that fantastic ecstatic kiss. She was a beautiful belle, Southern roots now so grievously lost, her love I miss! She a flower so delicately blown upon eager waiting paradise dreams Was no way I, the young fool, could have known we would both fall victim to evil schemes! Youth, Fate and Time destroyed each loving heart So tragic, now living lives torn apart! R. J.

Hi Robert, again your pen does write an excellent sonnet. Once again your emotions are displayed down the written page and as always i do draw them in as i draw in breath. There can be such beauty that can be found in sadness. Your words bring out both the beauty and the sadness. You have such a skill in the way you write sonnets. This write is a seven my friend. Your Friend Always....Mike.
