Talking to Love

Talking to Love
Form: Raven’s Rovi Sonnet 34
Theme: Love
Subject: Glass of wine

Before you I knew life was what it was
A straight road to a fixed destination
I was there on it with reason and cause
Zinfandel was just a glass of red wine
At end of the day with the setting sun
You set that all in flames without a sign
And no place to go when the doing is done
My glass of red wine a hesitation
Consoling my heart so it beats just fine
Protecting my mind from being undone
Now my soul lies lost and without a hope
A worthy sacrifice to just because
There is no road just a slippery slope
And a glass of wine entwined in the rope

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
