CONUNDRUM
by C.S. Scotkin
I search for words, such perfect ways to say
My love, the truest feelings I embrace
But have not found them, nor have I met you
And so my lantern burns late hours in vain.
I’ve seen all but your face when dreams roll in
To tease my soul as cool waves tease my toes,
Then disappear before I can react.
There is no image for my heart to hold.
I have to trust that if our paths converge
My search as well as yours be done at last,
This endless search for words of love will end
As our words blend together through the night.
The answer that I seek in silent times,
Which must come first, a sonnet or a love?
Sonnets get easier the older I get...
I get my new eye tomorrow...it's beautiful and looks great even though it cannot see.

Such heart poured forth on every line.
and in response to the last two lines:
The idea of love precedes
whatever form comes forth
tangibly
be it verse or prose
or sighs, no one knows
until it appears to be seen
by the one forming the dream
and know that it will find its own
thanks for the sweet sonnet as a Q :)

Love is a lived sonnet, a serenader. A sonnet, otoh, could be written as a figment of great imagery of a talented word-manipulator poet ( who might never experienced Love, in full sense of the word).
Nice write, my friend.
Wish you the best.

The search for those words, like a love unfound
is a worthy quest, outcome, matters not
to not search, a sin, eternity cursed
Yes your mastery of sonnets grows. Sad to hear you have but one eye, but you know that might help focus in the other direction! lol

Sonnets are impossible (for me) and love is difficult :( I'm grumpy on the love subject lately. Nice about your eye!

Love is easy. Sonnets are hard. I pick love.
