Lin Lane Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

The Wick of Love's Flame

In blazing wildfire she was caught
Burns penetrated through her heart
When heat of fire is so intense
pain and suffering are immense

What lit the wick of her love's flame
Passion and desire share the blame
No comfort will soothe her charred soul
No words can heal her or console

She swore she had no love to give
nor the will to linger and live
She chose to distance her cold heart
from sparks that could a romance start

Her heart once seared, withers away
Eyes blind if love should come today

Timothy Hicks February 17, 2016 at 11:20 PM I like the subtle message behind this piece. Close up your heart, and you won't see love even if passes right in front of you. Nice sonnet. Lin Lane February 18, 2016 at 3:09 AM Thank you, Timothy, for the compliment and for reading this one.

John Hamilton February 17, 2016 at 12:05 PM Words so true, blind passion at a tender age, can scar one for life, thinking true love is not possible after giving up oneself to passion, lowers self esteem. Great message. Lin Lane February 17, 2016 at 12:07 PM Thank you very much, John.
