Seasons Of The Heart - Sonnets

Awakened by the early sun of Spring,
And whispers in the wind of love anew;
Enchanted by the melody it sings,
A rosebud rises in the morning dew.
Whilst snow and frost flee for a beacon bright,
A Red Rose cuddles up in sun's embrace.
Enlightened, yet without a trace of fright,
Unfolding velvet leaves with loving grace.
Bestowed with passion of his golden rays,
She grows into a beauteous red Rose,
Aloft on rainbows proudly she displays,
True shades of red, composed by love's repose.
Amid the composition of his art,
She knows this is the Summer of her heart.

But suddenly the Summer turns to Fall,
And Winter tears asunder unity;
The magic of the snow cannot enthral;
Oh Rose, no bloom's intent infinity!
Deprived of joie de vivre and its mystique,
She can't endure its loss, nor its torment.
While crystal teardrops seal her loss unique,
The wrath of silence raves through firmament.
Thus overcome by smart to death she yields;
Her love - now still; faith perished; hope's decay,
And petals flutter onto withered fields,
Bereft of life upon a Winter's day.
The Rose - her heart - withheld of love she weeps;
Withdraws into eternal Winter sleep.

I have to agree, this is an awesome poem. Its fragrance and beauty will outlast the fragile rose, and be a sweet warm memory on those frozen nights.

Sunshine: Anytime, anyday girl, but I'm still learning myself. It's Nan who masters the art.

Melissa: Published? Geesh, that would be a dream come true!

Thank you all for your kind and wonderful words. I'm blushing... yes I am...

Munda ,
A beautiful write .

A poem as lovely as this deserves praise ,
and I shall join in chorus here on Earth .
Yet , still there begs a question I must raise ,
" Is sixty bucks a dozen what they're worth "?
See ya in class ,

Very nice sonnets! I enjoyed the read!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

I applaud your talent Munda! For all the ways I spill out...for some reason I cannot or have not been able in Sonnet. This is a pure example of the flowing waters of poetry. Exquisite imagery and verse! I wish I wish I wish...

Sincerely,
Regina

Thank you all very much for your wonderful replies. I'm really somewhat overwhelmed by them.

Hmm Doc, I suppose you live in the wrong country. Over here that would cost you only 20-25 bucks.

Thanks everybody!
