Sonnet 64: Hidden Love Poem by David Wood

Sonnet 64: Hidden Love

Rating: 5.0


Sad is the man whose love he cannot show
When bursting with love he remains aloof
Afraid to show his true feelings that glow
In his heart, his love always seeking proof.

‘Does he love me’ she says, ‘or does he not’
Always wondering if love has ended
Never hearing the words ‘I love you a lot’,
But detached, aloof equally blended.

True love needs to be expressed and declared
And constantly spoken with very sweet words,
Love with all of nature must be compared
Like a summers day with sweet singing birds.

Love that is stifled may soon end in tears
Love needs to be shown to allay all fears.

The sun is setting The leaves fall-fall is setting in There's a slight breeze outside It's getting cold I walk outside to feel the breeze against my face I close my eyes and listen... I live in a world where there's so much life around me But for that moment I feel like I'm the only one The only one, and for that moment I picture myself in another place My Sanctuary I go over and sit on a bench and can hear the birds overhead My mind starts to wander Life wouldn't seem so bad as a bird They get to see the world I would like to see the world So much I have yet to see So many people I have yet to meet I open my eyes I go back inside Back to reality

Inarticulated love lacks the essential warmth. Love should be expressed openly so that those involved can recognize and reciprocate! A beautiful sonnet holding much truth in it! !
