Convalescence
| Code: | Convalescence whispers only to injured ears
With a delectable sigh, a grand aroma,
So sweet and faint on the dreary tongue's pink-pronged buds,
That desire's engulfed
In affliction over the loss of such rare taste
Once the edible whisper has fully eroded
Among the emptiness of the world's dissonance-
Meaningless and lost.
Oh, horrible loss! Oh, meaningless dissonance!
What splendid treasures will entice you to depart
From my bitter mouth and regale me with a lot
For Love to reign on?
The moon has died of solitude; the sun: poisoned;
The weeping willow tree has lived threefold again
Since the last time I felt convalescence's whispers
Breathing upon me-
Into me, through my very palpitating veins-
Like clouds racing through the Earth's blue arteries,
Weeping the essence of their existence over
Sad humanity.
And thus I've heard from many cities, far and near:
Convalescence whispers only to injured ears.
Ah, then, answer my undeniable question:
Where does my love wait?
Where is my bargained whisper, so long expected?
May the waves of sound remain buried under the
Very shells that they help to conceal until my
Forlorn whisper comes. |
(I had to put it in code, because it wouldn't let me indent normally.) |

It's so raw and emotional. I can really feel it.
Wow.

It looks like shakespeare. Not that it's a work of art comparable, it just looks like you were trying to sound like shakespeare.
Yeah, I've written poems, mut most of them are a bit too sad for my image. |

I just have one rule for the thread: Anyone who writes fifteen sonnets (real ones) gets a prize.
