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.

I love this Fran...truly love it. I could identify so easily with the entire thing. Loved the last two lines, so comforting with warmth emanating. Your style of writing is so beautiful and engaging...sonnets, so romantic they give me goose bumps.
A terrifically crafted piece of peace!
Hope you're well...
Helen.

This is such a beautiful sonnet I think sonnets are your forte' you do them so beautifully and with such a
natural flow and ease. As always a wonderful write.

You have an amazing flare and style that is such a pure joy to read and to partake of. I think you have a great knack for sonnets. You seem to flow so easily and carelessly with no effort. Truly a pleasure to read.


Great JOb!!!!!
