Sonnet For Doomed Love

by Toby Abbot - Aquarius

Sonnet For Doomed Love

What force brought us together, in love
Across mountains of derision and scorn
Some celestial spark that came from above
Yet never the rose without the thorn
What cruel fate that made you choose
Between your loved ones and your loving heart
They could not accept my love for you
And so our bliss was torn apart
They stained my name with deeds impure
And filled your mind with calumnious lies
Now, reluctant, I must leave your door
With soft caress and tear filled eyes
In this world of weeds, few flowers endure
And our frail love was a flower too pure.
