Analysis of Sonnet 2: Whispers Of An Untold Love
Christen Kuikoua 2007 (United States)
In the depths of love's vast expanse,
A yearning burns, a desperate chance.
So close, yet words get caught in my throat,
Silent whispers, love's song left to float.
I hold her dear, her presence divine,
But how to show, this heart of mine?
Bound by fear, I watch her start to fade,
My grasp slipping, a love betrayed.
Bitter tears flow, as I fear her loss,
Prayers unanswered, a heavy cost.
Powerless, I stand, with trembling knees,
Lost in the labyrinth of unspeakable pleas.
A truth, so raw, it pierces my soul,
Destiny's riddle, beyond my control.
But loving her, it was never a mistake,
A flame that kindles, refusing to break.
Faith, be my beacon, in this darkened night,
Guide me through doubt, and grant me sight.
For love, eternal force, in every heart it dwells,
Grant me strength, to break these confining shells.
With passion's fire, I'll blaze a path anew,
Embrace vulnerability, sincere and true.
For love, it calls, with fervent devotion,
To find a way, to heal this love's emotion.
In the depths of love, a longing resides,
With faith as my compass, love's rise and tide,
Together we'll journey, through joy and strife,
A love made meaningful, sculpted by life.
