my first attempt at a sonnet. once

Joyful, resentful, demanding and loud

The past is a place, where I felt defined

Pain I wear it an invisible shroud

I’ll take to my grave, unless I can find

That time that I colored to lend it weight

Bright little boxes, for fear we be late.

Unthinkable that time could lose its hue

Fading with it all I held to be true

Time now weighs heavy, a mantle of lead.

Time then so light so quickly was it spent

Paying no heed to my disease so spread

Till I was left, or was it me that went?




Once was mother, but alas no more

I have lost my voice, but inside I roar.

Criticise My thoughts are racing limbs a pacing
I feel the end is nigh.
All alone in night unending
Time a torturous lie.


Brain fermenting, my thoughts fragmenting
Shatter in glass shards.
Body returned to gods uncaring
I grasp my deck of cards.

Fear is mounting, my hearts a pounding
I know the end is nigh
My eyes I raise can I be seeing
Glass shards alight the sky?

Hearts they are seeking, of those a weeping
My choice is not to cry.
These cards in sorrow had me keeping
I care no longer why



With care and love I gently shred
The cards I did not sow
The life I bled was tragically led
The end, you'll never know.
