Poem -
Why?-- A Winter Sonnet
Alone I walk through snowy winterโs fray
and cast my dying dreams upon the floor.
I crest the snowdrifts rising day by day,
and find I need to rise atop once more.
ย
Although the autumn leaves vacate the trees
as embers of my fire begin to glow,
my heart feels warm each time you're here with me,
toย stoke the pyres of love lost long ago.
ย
Yet dreams cannot sustain a sorrowed soul
you once held captive with such tender grace.
Untilย you setย me free my heart was full,
all I have are memories of your face.
ย
How could you leave me hereย alone toย die;
With every breath I take I whisperโฆ โwhy?โ

I love a good Shakespearean sonnet, This is perfect, the meter is spot on it flows fantastically well. Such a mournful piece, it feels historical, as sonnets often do....Really enjoyed thanks for sharing
