Love Sonnet 212

[ReyvrexQuestor Reyes]

Did Happiness leave with the revelries?
Or with the reasons to indulge in one?
The smiles stamped on my face are forgeries,
As nothing genuine have I now done;
You've gone, too far, none of my thoughts have reached,
And came back once, but only passing through,
For ever since the love, its binds were breached,
Goodbye has made you grace my dreams for show;
Your essence dwelt not in the substance shown,
Like foliage that's without the rosy blooms,
Or royalty stripped of the kingly throne,
If not like ambiance of empty rooms;
…..The world is round, the farther you depart,
…..You'll come around, so near, back to the start.

Congratulations! It's a lovely sonnet. I would spare my use of ellipses a bit, but other than that, it's a beautiful poem.

Oh dear. This made me sad but in a beautiful way.

Thanks for visiting. So, that confirms it, there is beauty in sadness. I used to think that there is only such a thing as "sweet sorrow," Shakespeare being the promoter of which idea.
