As Romance Dropped Dead..

On By Veera

Hey all! I’m back with my next sonnet. Enjoy!

On a bright Valentine’s evening began
A betrothal between two lovers young,
A beautiful belle and a handsome man,
Among whom an amour had swiftly sprung.

She’d longed romance,passion,undying love,
Simply perfect,she surmised,when they met;
The brief happiness they heartily hove
Soon became sorrow and utter regret.

She approached him one night,as he slept sound,
As the moon and stars quietly observed,
With boiling rage and purpose profound,
Granted him the death she felt he deserved.

When love evanesced and romance dropped dead,
She drowned in an ocean of haunting dread.

-The Forgers of Fantasy

Btw,this is a fictional piece,as I am only fifteen years old and haven’t the slightest idea of what romance is about.

  5. Such an interesting turn of phrase:
    “Granted him the death she felt he deserved.”
    She was angry and killed him, but granting death gives an impression it was an honor…
    What’s your mind on this, Veera?

    1. ❤ Ah I would actually agree with this.When I wrote this poem, I was actually thinking on the lines of "She didn't know why she killed him, except for the fact that she was simply enraged by the lack of romance in their marriage. And it was after his death that she realised why she had fallen in love with him in the first place… ❤

  9. Veera, I want to add a little comment here if I may…the poem I’m writing for the Thursday open link night 17th Feb currently has an adult line and possibly picture…if you don’t read and comment I really understand, because you said you were fifteen. I’m not overly happy with the adult bit, but it might fit and might be left, so I just wanted to warn you and tell you. My respect…

      1. Thank you – in the end I think it was much better without a picture of me years ago under a small waterfall and one line a bit too risky. (I don’t know why I thought a picture would be ‘authentic,’ this is a poetry site not wildlife photo place)…I am sorry for getting myself all in a twist of worry and writing the comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, that was very very considerate, all the best..
