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 English Sonnet Rhyme scheme abab cacd efef gg !4 lines 10 syllables per line 140 syllables 90 words Redolence: brilliance, radiance

I always stayed away from sonnets as I find them complicated. You did a great job. Keep up the excellent work!

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:)

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

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.

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.

Very nice sonnet, Danny. If you read the sonnet I posted earlier today, you'll know not to look for the woman in mine to be your love...lol I tease but your sonnet really is lovely...especially the line beginning with "But faith bears hope..."

Thank you, Kim, I'm sure you meant Daniel. I'm just learning how to write them. Practice, practice, practice... I appreciate the flowers even if they were addressed to the wrong house. LOL Peace
