Behind Crimson Eyes (Sonnet III)

Behind Crimson Eyes (Sonnet III)

I yearn at night to see your pretty face,
While dreams of sweet sorrow put up a fight,
Why cant I be happy here in this place,
I'll wipe away these crimson tears tonight.

I yearn to hear your sweet angelic voice,
Maybe then I wouldn't feel so alone,
But in the end I never had a choice,
And now its left my heart encased in stone.

I yearn at night to smell your sweet perfume,
To be able to kiss your tender lips,
To see your beauty light up this dark room,
Forgot the feeling of your fingertips.

But tonight tis a dream thats full of lies,
So I'm looking behind these crimson eyes.

    your getting very good at the Sonnets.
    This was a very sad and moving piece.

    I yearn at night to smell your sweet perfume,
    To be able to kiss your tender lips,
    To see your beauty light up this dark room,
    Forgot the feeling of your fingertips.

    This stanza really stood out to me. Yearning for the one we love and the sadness when they are no longer there.
    Great jpb!

    Bryan bo Bryan, I love it . I like the whole symbolic crimson eyes thing . . . meaning like sleepless eyes or drunken eyes ? Maybe you didn`t mean it like that, but that`s how I took it lol . I didn`t even notice this was a sonnet when I first started to read, the style just sorta fit your words perfectly .
