Unknown secrets doomed to stay unknown
Locked far away in vaults kept safely locked
Blocked from view they keep progression blocked
Alone inside a heart that beats alone
Sewn up you cannot reap what you have sown
New hope's denied to those who never knew
You cannot grow when you are trapped in you
Alone inside a heart that beats alone
Atone for oafish pride, you must atone!
Or you can never mine that richest ore
More foolish is the lover on the moor
Alone inside a heart that beats alone
Unknown secrets doomed to stay unknown
Alone inside a heart that beats alone

JUDGED!!!
I will echo Amera's thought on this poem.
She has summed up all that can be said.
Very well done poet, all the best to you

Amazing! This is truly a work of art. The Echo Sonnet and the Shadow Sonnet really do complement each other. The poem simply sings and by using both identical words and homophonic words you increased the difficulty of composing it. I hope people see the brilliance of this poem and the effort it took to compose it.
Love,
Amera♥
