With Eyes Blind a Sonnet

An empty space,filled by light brings simplicity to life, the empty heart,fills with pain, cries out why,again,again, and still the emptiness remains; Simplicity forgotten in complexity will drown, darkness overwhelms the mind, despair see nought,with eyes blind; light fills up the empty space and illumes the vacant place, hope blots out disappointment as our emptiness relents. Singularity brings forth clarity on which imagination then flies free.

What a lovely sonnet! This form has always been and will forever be my favourite. Favourite part: illumes the vacant place. Well done. Thanks for the great blog and the chance to freely discuss this mad obsession we all share-- poetry. Cheers.
