Winged Warrior Poet Sonnet

Tears of the Heart

“Le lacrime del Cuore”


As the tears faithfully fall on cedar wood
A chaotic still thru sacerdotal sky where it stood
And blood rapidly runs down on cypress veins
Where the palpitating pine sadly shows its pains

The birds of prey perched perfectly passive
As the heart hinders to their words impassive
Nazarene nails reveal their tenacious teeth
And the sands of sorrow bellow underneath

A bludgeoned body from east to west
As the wounded wood is gently blessed
The heavens hibernate with clouds of grey
To meaningfully mourn this degenerative day

The cryptical cross now stands surreal
For a King is crowned with thorns that seal.

John Watt July 2, 2016 at 3:26 PM Warrior, so many powerful poetic phrases in this beautiful meditation on the cross of Christ. Love the alliterations you use: "Nazarene nails", "palpitating pine", "sands of sorrow", among others. I especially loved the line, "The heavens hibernate with clouds of grey". Your ending couplet is exceptional. Blessings ~ John Winged Warrior July 2, 2016 at 5:23 PM Thank you John...you my friend are an ambassador from heaven...god bless...^WW^

Andrew Crisci March 26, 2016 at 9:15 AM Your poem is proof of your faith. Jesus's sacrifice was for Mankind's salvation. Surely Earth and sky were in mourning on that sad day. I can hear Christ's acute pain being penetrate by long nails as His blood drips from the cross. Trust in the Savior, His promise never fails. Thank you for your comment yesterday. I wish you a Happy Easter, my friend.

Lin Lane March 24, 2016 at 4:58 PM I admire the honor you bestow upon Jesus in this sonnet. I agree with all except one minor point, but he gave his life for us, and there's nothing of equal value we can give except to love him for his sacrifice. Winged Warrior March 24, 2016 at 5:26 PM Thank you my dear Lady Lin...I was going to do a part two...not sure yet...but thank you for bringing it up Lin...god bless...and Happy Easter my friend...^WW^
