I’m Not Leaving (NaPoMo 15)

~ JezzieG

I’m Not Leaving
Form: Epistle Sonnet 15 – aba adcbe cdcd ee
Theme: Love Subject: Chair

Our love made us strong through the best and worst
And we had generous helpings of both
Yet anger and sorrow always dispersed
Because our love, the us, always came first
Words of rage in my memory are rare
Times of joy mellowed in contented bliss
As in each other, we found our own growth
As in the ways of love our souls confide
A destiny revealed from the first kiss
To the last wanderings with your wheelchair
You told me to go, give this last a miss
I said no, for you I’ll always be there
With you, my love, I belong by your side
Together, forever; that’s still our ride

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.
