Sonnet #1

Untitled Sonnet by Nawreen Juthi


The sickeningly sweet summer days droned on
Autumn eventually arrived with you
We became an unbreakable, blissful bond
Wandering this feeling of love we fell through

Leaves suddenly began falling, you held me
And then the cold came and the flame disappeared
It all  crept away slowly, but I could not see
These sleepless nights is what I most feared

The barren trees showed no signs of life here
You were all I needed, but now you're gone
You've left me here alone, while you're elsewhere
I was queen, but I've been kicked off my throne

I will never forget those serene nights
But I'm forced to move on to new heights
