Deep Burgundy

love sonnet

 

 

Once our Love was new, burning scarlet flames
'neath purple velvet skies, stars spoke our names

Love was life's Blood, A paradise sublime
coursing our veins~granting pleasure divine
suddenly stars faded to a Mauve hue
and a bright crescent moon slipped out of view
Passionate kisses turned into goodbye
Scarlet flames vanished, a blank canvas dried
Without your Love,days turned dull-dreary grey
My life painted void, dark destiny's play
It's strange you realized love lost was true
returning to me, we simply both knew

Now we're strong in the Love, that came so late
Stained in Deep Burgundy, well worth the wait

"Love was life's blood,", This speaks of love's depth, how vital it is to life.

"It's strange you realized love lost was true
Returning to me, we simply both knew

Now we're strong in the love, that came so late
Stained in Deep Burgundy, well worth the wait", It is fortunate that this love returned to you. I am happy for you.

The use of color in this poem is divine, not to mention how you utilized every other word, too. I think this is certainly one of your best, and I do hope that it's true. :) You just about hit the ball out of the park with this one, you know. Great work.

You write such lovely sonnets - a nearly lost art. A love lost and found is so sweet. Great write :-)

Lost and found again! And done so wonderfully in one of the best formats that you can do. I love it. You put this so passionately. I enjoyed it.

What a beauty this is!!
Very smooth flow and I love the last two lines, especially. For whatever reason, I wasn't expecting a happy ending.
A magnificent write.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it very much.
