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.

Another work of beautiful imagery.

I thought this was going to be about an end of a relationship but was pleasantly surprised it was about a new beginning.....beautifully written :)

I like how this is a lesson....that if love is meant to be, then it will be, no matter how much time passes, nor what may cause separation between two people...if the love is strong, it can be a powerful life force, and will overcome all obstacles...
Love your sonnets...I don't think I could even attempt to write one...

[Blue Bard]

This is a poem full of adjectives. Strong and vivid, image and word complementing each other as it should be.
