Ghost


Your distance lays my heart as moonlit night
yet sparkled flame these stars will grow so cold
would grant me wish surrendered to your light
for love lies still my burden, sad untold.
Where now my foolish wish that might have been
doth walk a path my eyes will never share
tis shadow that you are, still cloaked, unseen
wept long my bitter tear such pain I bear.
New dawns a day my hope has yet to see
but deep inside my reason known untrue
is this just written life, my destiny
what dream would bloom so fair to be with you.
Yet still I breathe my fate just reminisce
that wondered day as ghost you felt my kiss.

Unrequited Love Sonnets

I have no idea what iambic pentameter is. I understand the words but the meaning is beyond me.

    IP is the way the syllables are stressed when read aloud. It's complicated and my personal feeling is that unless I can hear it audibly as read by the author it's useless. We all speak differently and even if I look at the word in a dictionary to see where the stress is meant to be it's just damned confusing. Lovely sonnet btw. good job and thank you for entering.
