Forbidden Love

Outline: When is this sonnet competition starting up again?
Yes, love alighted here and stayed awhile
And lit the lamps which steered us through the night.
And when we had arrived at morning light
Love tarried for a little to beguile
Our hearts and minds with things that might and may,
Had we been free with unencumbered lives
Or consciences where nothing past survives
And present pleasure wipes the old away.
But as the sun rose in the golden sky
Our joy evaporated in its heat.
We went our separate ways with dragging feet
Back to our former paths to live a lie.
And now as darkness gathers comes a smile:
Yes, love alighted here and stayed awhile.

Very Happy This was lovely, I could really relate to this and felt my heart do a little flip thinking of what has been before. Thanks for a good poem to read. If anyone has been in that situation then I'm sure they felt the same.

Thanks for all your positive comments. I really enjoy writing sonnets, but I don't think I don't feel competent to start up a group, ml. I'm a bit of an amateur. But I'm glad if it stirred a few memories for anyone!!!! And I am honoured, Kate S. that you have put me in your favourites.

Hi Anonymouse,
I really like this. It says so much with quite few words. It's beautiful. I couldn't possibly think of any way it could be improved.
Regards Charlotte

yes nice little sonnet, I missed the comp as well, kept checking to see the standered of the entries then none could have got three firsts if time it right.

my efforts here no ones commented, Crying or Very sad
