A Sonnet For You - "Mind Ever Burning"

A vision, a beauty, the light of my life

Remembering that day on the beach when our eyes first met

Dreams of our hearts dedicated, as my husband and your wife

As that first day in the sand under a fine sunset

The naïve, the impatient, returns little girl

Independence grows slow with each passing day

Round and round my life in awhirl

Never thinking that you’d be the one to go astray

I let you in completely; you broke down my guard,

Let my world fall out, lying gently at your feet

Letting go and departing, leaving me scarred

Broken promises, empty hands, in definition bittersweet

Actions speak louder than words, I am what I am no regrets, no misgivings

A journey, I still love you always will and always forgiving

 I started this poem with the thrid stanza and went from there, the form of this sonnet definitly impacted the content of the poem itself. Once I started and I knew what I wanted to write my sonnet about I had to reflect back which created the first two stanzas of the poem. As I told my story through the words in the poem my feeling of confusion and being lost was found at the very end lines by saying I discovered myself and that he will always be apart of me, no regrets and always forgiving, meaning after everything that has happened it has made me who I am today and I will always hold a place in my heart for him and for us.
