Petrarchan Sonnet V

by Cory Bogner {Pisces} - Not entered

As the water rises I flail and kick,
I struggle for the land I see
Right here, right in front of me.
The sun falls and it fall quick,
But these floods have wet the wick
Of the candle that was to set me free.
To the sun and the sand I make one final plea,
"Help me before I quit; tired, battered and sick."

All my life I have wanted just one thing,
And I have searched without fail
For as long as I can remember
To find a finger to put my ring,
Belonging to a certain female
Who loves me as much as I love her.

Reason for writing:

    Because i'm a helpless romantic and have no luck w/ women.
