Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Will Love Come Today

Passing sunsets are constant reminders
To the evanescence of existence
Dazzled before, my heart now wears blinders
Mindfully leery of love's redolence
Lonely and sad in harbored seclusion
Cognizant of pain love hides behind her
But faith bears hope for fate's blind intrusion
Love will eventually show her hands
With room in my heart for love to reside
And ample space for new warmth to flourish
Malice departed, pain slowly subsides
Forthcoming a new babe to be nourished
Sunrise enlightens dawn of each new day
Revitalizing a good heart betrayed

Kristie Raburn April 14, 2016 at 9:52 AM I always stayed away from sonnets as I find them complicated. You did a great job. Keep up the excellent work! Daniel Turner April 14, 2016 at 9:56 AM Thank you, Kristie. It took me a while to learn and am still learning. They are fun. I can usually say what I want to say in 14 lines so they work well for me. I appreciate your kindness and friendly comments. Peace young lady:)

Andrea Dietrich February 17, 2016 at 5:47 PM a beautiful one for LOVE when pain has subsided! Daniel Turner February 17, 2016 at 6:22 PM Thank you, Andrea . I appreciate the pat on the back as usual. You are a good friend to take the time to read and comment. Peace:)

Jean Murray February 17, 2016 at 4:20 PM My oh my, such talent.I suggest you take off those blinders. You never know what you might see, 360degree. Jean Murray February 17, 2016 at 4:42 PM Arkansas?? I don't believe it!! My eyes are hazel, with a twinkle I cannot conseal. I could meet you in Australia next month if that's any closer Danny Boy. I am going out for a month to visit my older sister, on the border between New south Wales and Queensland. On the sea, of course, in their newly build dream home. Otherwise, check out Legs1156 on POF....Honey.x Daniel Turner February 17, 2016 at 4:29 PM Aye lass, it's a long way from Arkansas to The Emerald Isles. Right here, myself, I'm a lookin' atcha'. Such a lovely smile and bright eyes. I can't tell from the picture but I'd be a bettin' your eyes are as green as the countryside.

John Hamilton February 17, 2016 at 1:55 PM Very nice sonnet Daniel, not really familiar with sonnet form but looks and sounds really good. Nice rhyme have to look up redolence, probably has to do with pain. Daniel Turner February 17, 2016 at 2:02 PM Redolence; radiant, bright. The brightness of love is so attracting I wear blinders, because it scares me. I don't want the pain. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I'm just learning how to write sonnets myself. It really fits what I like to do. I can usually say what I want to say in 14 lines. It's just a matter of getting the rhyme scheme right.
