…
Italian Sonnet
…
Could we talk? Explore the world through my eyes?
Meeting — the divide between us could heal;
Clarity strikes, moments of truth concealed,
Hiding our secrets — I’d like not to lie.
Underneath the layers, more words contrived,
‘Till I’m unsure what’s real, only that truth cries.
I can’t hate you, my guilt itself revealed,
Written
by Amanda Eifert
I wish between us all words said were real.
To move on when life used to mean — to hide.
Gold leaf of paper, are letters sent blessed,
Back and forth notes, develop us, obsessed.
Into each other we were grafted fast,
Keep holding on we’ll survive through harsh –
Times, sins we should’ve skipped, now such a farce;
Still in our hands, we hold each other’s hearts.

Hey! Great to find this as I just had my first attempt at writing a sonnet, but so-called English or Shakespearean not Italian. It was prompted by the theme set in our writers’ club, ‘reflection’ but also by the situation in Romania. You’ll find it, with five other responses I made to the theme, on my most recent post on my blog.
