Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Love is Chaos

Love is chaos,
unfettered blissful anguish
of emotions.

Lack of control,
no boundaries,
no safety net.

A tightrope of uncertainty,
dangerously bouncing,
upending the tightrope walker.

Breaking off pieces of a soul,
bit by bit or wrenching it out
completely, without warning.

Love knows no mercy,
waiting until the wound heals,
before stabbing the tender heart again

    Wow. After this one, especially the last line, I think I’ll skip it. Love that is. Romantic love you know. I still love you. 🙂

    This is a beautiful poem Ami. There is a sense of betrayal and sadness in your verses. Thanks for joining in.
