A Sonnet this can Never Be- Pure Emotion

by Maple Tree   Jun 29, 2013


Attempting to craft a sonnet,
with ebb and flow of unique
proportions, iambic pentameters
dangled off cliffs of unresolved
emotions, my pen forgot
the beats of rhythmic tears.

A part of me passed away with her
on a day in April when the lights
shut down the brain of memories.

I coiled deep within, shutting everyone
out who loves me, for the brightness
of a flower bed withered in dreams.

Sonnets are a song of love,
I forgot the love within-

the day she stopped breathing.

It's time to let my words flow freely
without rules and rhyme;

It's time to breathe again.

    I'm so glad to see you writing again, dear. Everyone grieves differently, sometimes you just have to shut the world out and cope, and when you're ready, (and this is proof that you are) you will step back out and get some fresh air. <3

    This is absolutely breathtaking and like you said, pure emotion. You wrote from the bottom of your heart and it shows... and my heart hurts for you because I've been down that road before.

    Wow, you have such a strong heart Andrea that I know is full of love, and Mama Pike would be so proud to see this...I'm happy you're back writing too and I know this will reach people too, the emotion is beautiful, pure, and filled with remembrance....I know your struggle, but since I wasn't in your shoes, I can't imagine the pain and loss....time helps I think, but also knowing you will never forget her and she will be a part of your life. Like you said in your poem, sometimes you just have to write, no matter in what way, but having less restrictions will help move on. This was so sweet and shows the fighter you are for life and taking each breath at a time!!!

    (last line I think "breath" should be breathe")

    Beautiful <3
