Sonnet
I fell in love with the angel whose wings were black
The mystery of unreachable dreams.
I had thought it would be something I could never get back
If I let it break apart at the seams
So I swore to myself I would find a way
Some miracle would happen, I’d be free
But trouble kept coming and led me astray
So I fought just to reclaim my sanity.
When life was hard, I could still see the angel
Weeping for me, staring blankly ahead
But once I had gone, there was no turning back
The angel, to me, was dead.
I fell in love with the person I thought I couldn’t be
But still, I fell in love with me.
A smooth movement of lyrical rhythm and images…from an angel with black wings to ‘me’. Nicely done! It was great to meet you at the write in! Keep up the good work, and Happy Writing!
Oh my gosh!!! Both the rhyming and the rhythm are slick and perfect!
