The Letter

Written: September 30, 2023
____________________________________________________________

Incipient of dusk, with heavy eyes shutting.
My spirit dies with each day of leisurely cutting.
Folding oneself in a featly state of reminiscence.
I recall when love meant a loss of innocence.

In the depths of time, I recall a letter you wrote.
With words that touched my soul, every note
In ink stained with passion, emotions blaze.
A testament to passion in an ethereal maze

As the curtain opens today and casts
Sets blur in mists of fallen drops, amort contrast,
Vivid hues of happiness are now washed away.
Leaving only shadows of what used to sway.

The inability to forget your final farewell
My heart harbors words: Infinity to dwell.

Sara Kendrick Date: 10/1/2023 10:35:00 AM Sad one at the end with the farewell. I now wonder is the departure one of choice or one of death. Creative lines penned in this one. Thanks for sharing this work and for dropping by my page. Sara Login to Reply

Ink Empress Date: 10/1/2023 12:26:00 AM This is a very evocative and deeply moving write. So many lines stood out for me . Such brilliant diction and rhymes in your sonnet, and the emotions that flow within your lines truly is impeccable! I thought of my beloveds love letters, and how they touch my soul. I especially love the lines “ vivid hues of happiness are now washed away” the angst uve depicted there, “ leaving only shadows” hits home! Some farewells are hard to forget, and one lives reminiscing, i love those alliterations! Login to Reply
