Sunset Sonnet 1
Black
petals shriveled akin to leper’s skin
I
dare not touch what I onCe held in my hands
Death
decays outside, life vibrant within
Love
is for fools only folly understands
Seasons
commit treasons to everyone
In
Spring we joyfully sing youth’s sweet song
Never
to realize death’s hold has begun
We
mock the reaper confident and strong
My
spectacle covered eyes behold you
You
sleep foreshadowing eternal rest
Inept
in all the world, nothing to do
I
shall walk alone to complete my quest
Ah
my sweet rose you shall never truly part
In
unending youth you reside in my heart
And thus the journey begins.
It is a sad journey into that domain that is called death. “When Love slips
away, what does one say?” Sunset Sonnets is my answer to that question. It
looks into the dark eyes of the grim specter and beyond. Sunset Sonnets is a spiritual
and wholesome look at the passage into the ‘eternal’. It embraces the harsh
pain but perceives the hope in something better.
“Life is at the heart of the
poet, but what place does death hold?” If you are a lover of traditional poetry
or need encouragement in your dark hour this book is for you.
