Wicked Love Modern Sonnet For Contest
Wicked Love (Modern Sonnet for Contest)
Your step was in the doorway, sunlight dancing in the air
Like a spark within an earthquake,
I’m a fool without a fear
Who sent you to my arms that day, a curse and smile, a tear
Was it written on a page a thousand years and more
To break apart my true bound heart
Destroy my world of careful plans without a second glance.
Naked in the dirt I fell-- a child without a chance.,
Your laughter never falters, never flickers a remorse,
Chasing money f-cking glory, is your selfish course.
A golden life, it trails you, each step -- a new reward
And, leaves behind, a trampled life, a frayed and broken cord.
But some old gods smile out at me through green and golden wood
And life returns with sweetness to reveal a world of good.
