Sonnet 2 (Real Love) 9/4/14

I prayed, how I prayed, to find me a love,

Before long there was a knock at the door,

I thought I have my answer from above,

As it turned out it was worse than before.

But a few months later I received some news,

That I really had never expected,

A new life, how could I ever refuse?

My life would forever be affected.

                                                                                

Yet the love I thought had been meant to be,

Was one of pain and devoid of all joy,

Then suddenly the lightning would strike me,

I realized it was my blue-eyed boy.

My boy who will always make my heart smile,

Who makes every day even more worthwhile.

For: my son

Sonnet 1 (Closure)

The years go by without ever seeing,

And never knowing what happened that night,

Were you watching me as I was fleeing?

Or turn away as I ran out of sight?

It wasn’t my choice to turn and run out,

That decision made completely by you.

Whatever the reason; love, hate or doubt,

The answer was something I never knew.

I’ve come to realize after all these years,

The truth is something I’ll never know.

It’s time to put away sadness and tears,

And bring all those memories to a close.

The time has come to pack away the pain,

Leaving memories before that night came.
