The Light (NaPoMo 25)

The Light
Ivorian Sonnet 25 – aa bcb dede bacde
Theme: Love Subject: Pills

Time for healing getting stronger each day
Sewing up the edges where emotions fray
While looking for the ways out of this pit
When her love meant she walked away from this
Leaving me alone to get on with it
The world she wants is decked out in pure gold
For her love is the glamour and a ring
On her finger she can flash to the world
In pretentious grandeur that she sees in bling
In sickness and health; well that didn’t fit
She couldn’t care so simply walked away
It’s one more dagger from her lover’s kiss
Bitter pill to take; a light to behold
In such darkness where her love means nothing

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.
