As a fragrant flower of the blooming Spring,
You flourished in a sweet essence by a shimmering blue- light crystal pond,
There as Queen Primavera waltzed on fields of golden grain, as the twirled in her dancing fling,
As blossoms swayed in ripples of soft waves, your gentle wind blows of rain made me fond.
You grew as a veined skinned root up the legs of a dock,
As a vine of lilac ivy curled about, you wouldn't let go of this red flower,
But as then as a crimson drop of blood on the pale face of snow, was but the breath of a clock,
And then you ceased to shed a hollow tear and broke with the twisted heat of Summer.
A stark blush break of dawn as pale day left as a whisper, began to fade as the voice of ghost,
The wraith of Winter dark as frozen ice and cold as the chill wind of aged night,
But then the white vestige of time, like the bed of the still river shivered and broke, as you began to boast,
But you as as the scarlet rose and sweet lavender lily are swallowed from earth we began to fight.
And midnight is when snowflake stars fall, when my breath raptures again, when I weep.
And at daylight is when the Sun wavers gold, when you scream a horrid song, and when you will fall asleep.

Very beautiful. I love the imagery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy. First try at a sonnet. I'm glad you like it.
DeleteHmm.... this seems familiar ;) I really really love this one, it's so magical and I can tell there's history involved, but the Summer descriptions and such are so.... perfect, it reminds me of times spent with my fam in the Summer, it's beautiful, you nailed the sonnet pattern :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gabby. I wonder where you've seen this? ;) Magical? Huh, I never found it that way. History? Well, I don't know. I wrote this one just to write, and I was more focused on getting the rhyme scheme right, than actual theme. Though, "Queen Primavera," is a name for Spring and the part about crimson on snow, was inspired by the verse Isaiah 1:18. I think I was trying to right about losing someone over time, like how the Spring leaves. I'm still not sure.
DeleteI wonder as well... ;) and ohhhh that explains the Queen Primavera, I thought it was a historical figure xD. awww, that's beautiful, I love that piece of scripture, I can see that in this piece! And whatever the meaning, it is still a beautiful piece. I love the way there can be multiple meanings, it makes it special and can be relatable :)
Deletethis is good.
