the four or five-year old sonnet

i wrote this sonnet when i was in my second year in high school… so, i was 14 or 13 years old then. i cant help but smile to myself while i read the sonnet coz i cant seem to remember the reason why i wrote it …. and here it goes :))

in mislaid presence i hence wait

in fictional embraces and kisses i still remain

torrential twinges of broken promises on my shoulders weight

marred—wounded—scarred heart—oh! dire pain!

couldn’t this heart tolerate thy coarse fate?

tears stream out of an incessant rain

anguish exacerbates when i taunt for this sensation to separate

sweet not these tears for these were never sane

umpteen reasons, still, i will love thee

this ardor not the entity of any other man’s heart can alter

not even the world’s ghastly decree

if forever is what you ask, then forever it shall be

i shall die with all uncertain blunt memories, however

beyond death—this love will reign—i guarantee!
