Sonnet #1
by Gavin M Roywhen alone i sit and stare
thinking of times gone past
pondering of my loves care
and for that time i grasp
my eyes flood though ritually dry
and i befriending death
looked him in the eye.
Coldness of black corroded my breath.
Now i reach for the past i once forgot
and yearn to tell her so
but alas i am where i once sought
and thus i release these woes.
eolian memories grasp and choke
and from this state i awoke. 01/01/1990 Author's Note: see, I wrote teen-angst too!
