Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

The Spirit of Love

Our love will never disappear or wane
We clung tight to a true, passionate heart
This spirit of love, the world will retain
After our kiss, as tethered eyes depart
Ashes cry out for each flame that love weeps
When you departed this world filled with tears
Your spirit is gone, your body now sleeps
A still empty realm of darkness appears
This cold, lonely space where love never burns
To warm the eyes with wondrous emotion
I'll seek my own death without my concerns
To consecrate all of my devotions

   As lovers' passion fueled our love's pyre
   In death, I'll find you with my desire

Showers of your wisdom is well palpated in this page and the only thing I can say is a big WELL DONE! Can't wait to have more of your mental command flowing through my reading mind.

Andrea Dietrich July 15, 2017 at 7:57 PM A very lovely poem, Frederic. Also I watched the video (which you so nicely added so that we would not get thrown off the site by clicking on it) That guy in the video is so handsome, his EYES were OMG!!! Made my day.Even the woman had green eyes!! Gosh, I just got to the end. What an ending, and why did they ever say goodbye to each other in the first place??
