sonnet 3

I dream of a love as intense as the sun,

 

So bright that it sets my tear ducts a’flowing.

 

Heat that would leave me bewildered and stunned,

 

Light to facilitate living and growing.

A love that would put it all in perspective,

 

And undo the bandages binding my eyes,

 

Freeing me from a life introspective,

 

Something completely un-compromised.

 

A love to unlock the gates of eternity,

 

Untangle this tapestry of tangled threads,

 

A love that would reconcile us with insanity,

 

And see that our souls are bountifully fed.

 

A love that transcends this unhappy world,

 

The undying love of an imaginary girl.

[Julian Lorenzana]

Is she wishing for some unattainable love? She surely sounds desperate for love. Great poem! I enjoyed reading it.
