When Love Dies

The loss of love is far beyond love's gleam Tomorrow comes to see the end come true Know the depth of sorrow will now convene To paint the world's color of deeper blue And bows the head in open palms and cries When painful dark begins the day now new With each last memory that fades and dies As hearts still bleeding hide from times they knew From love sworn, to be now cold of mind As desire lost will leave a vanquished shell Though both will cling to fragments left behind And search fresh springs to fill love's empty well This pain-filled time always comes with a cost And the bond between this love shall be lost 1/5/2020 Contest English Sonnets judged 2/7/20

When love is there, the breaking of the bond can feel almost unbearable. An excellent piece, Frederic!

Lost love is the worst kind of pain for time will not always heal the injury. In shades of dark blue, your sonnet touches me, Frederic.
