Ralph Sergi Poet Sonnet

Unrequited

She sits in her room and stares at a sight
A lonely impulse of a dimming light
Streaming across through a crack in the blind
For she knows he will not be here tonight
There was a time when the sun pulsed great light
And brilliant was their love with colored hues
delighting favor with their favorite muse
An estactic joy with rapture unbound
Redundant as a vibrant echoed sound
Reverberating through a verdant glen
Their tumultuous love had died and then
She sits there in her lonely room and pouts
And ponders at the love thats gone and past
Their love was not as strong enough to last

Gary Bateman October 7, 2015 at 3:42 PM Hello Ralph!! Dropping by here for my first time. You have some great poetry that I shall try to get back to from time to time! I written a few sonnets and heroic couplets and lyrics so I always get a good feel for the syncopation of the verses and a number of other characteristics of great writes. The imagery, passion, and emotion you've displayed in this write are all excellent!! The last four verses intertwine powerfully to remind the reader of the essence of "Unrequited!" A "7"! Cheers, Gary
