The Never Ending Now

Listen to poem:
Upon a breathless moment in time, A thousand hells do exist; Within a paralyzed paradigm A love is lost in the mist. Where hearts are broken forever, Amidst the never ending now; As anguished sorrows sever And tears break the bough. A twinkling second of love lost, Like mirages melting of mind; A neglected nuance in frost Caged memories are confined. In an instant love is crushed, And a lonely moment hushed.

"When you walk into the room, I stand on shaky ground" comes to mind... but when you walked out--the grounds of hell have shaken me. Levels of hell I hold suppressed. Touching

WW congratulations! This sonnet is filled with breathtaking images and poetic expression - "paralyzed paradigm," "mirages melting," "never ending now" and heartbreaking emotion. Well done!

Spot on verse. Very cleverly devised. I think the alliteration is fitting.

Only when they took the dog or cat was I really upset:) Excellent writing. A heart can be broken in an instant...and then take lifetimes to mend.

Winged Warrior, I really like the premise of your skillfully written Sonnet. No need for alliteration when a poet writes of lost love, in fact it's best when not overdone.

I do remember that feeling of the floor falling out from under you when your realized your love was walking away and all you had invested went up in smoke. Great write, Wings, best wishes in the contest, my friend ~ JW
