Sonnet

In these tightly measured lines, beauty battles restraint. Sonnets hold the storm in their structure: aching truths stitched in meter and rhyme. This is form as confession, precision as power. Fourteen lines, infinite echoes.

When emotion obeys the rhythm.

Sparkling Emerald Eyes

your arms, like carved oak, protected me

When Blood Calls to the Moon

I strutted in the presence of Death

Bound in Darkness

blood spilled over the descending sun

The Devil’s Whisper

caused my life to vanish
