Pastures new (English sonnet)

by Michael   Aug 7, 2017


(Dedicated to friends who'll say..'I do' once more)
(and together take their love, enjoy and explore.)

Our love; unveiled when dating in the dark.
We knew this way of searching was a chance;
but soon our eyes were fluttering a spark,
which spun unto a wonderful romance.
Our day has come to tie our sacred knot
The strings we’ve laced to bind our hearts as one.
What lies within our pasts are now forgot;
for now we look for better things to come.
Our love is blessed with bands of golden rings;
We breathed from lips our vows of solemn words
We’ll keep each other safe beneath our wings
and will enjoy our lives as free as birds
We may have borrowed; something old and blue;
But cherish life; in love of pastures new

    Michael , I think in the 5th line it is sacred instead of scared, please correct it if I am right.
    This is the thing with love. I mean it happens to you and you find that one person in the billions made only for you.
    I think you got lucky to have her in your life as your wife. As in love this happens very rarely that the person you love, loves you back.

      Thank you for the typo error Lucifer, now changed :)

      This piece is actually for two friends of mine who are getting married, after difficult relationships before.

      But I totally agree with your words if it was myself in the situation

    Thank you Bradley

    Sonnets are certainly a tough one on the mind. But really enjoy writing them :)

    A very strong piece of writing. Every line was important and giving new information, and not simply regurgitating a previous line in a different way to make a rhyme work. I also enjoyed your use of the English language, too: simple but varied.

    Michael, I have been away for a week, only to return to you writing flawless sonnets. You have it with this one, good fellow. The meter, syllables, rhyme, everything - spot on. It's poetry like this that keeps me coming back to the site.
    All the very best as ever,
    Ben
