Arrows

A Spenserian Sonnet

How is it that your arrows pierce the dove?

When such a thing is deemed detestable.

When stars are shining, you see flames above

And finding things of beauty laughable.

You are the fog that hides the colorful.

When sunlight glows, your rains take it away

Which squanders life and deeply wounds my soul

As you relive the life from yesterday.

I wish the winds would blow you far away

For when I am at peace, you are distressed,

Especially when nothing goes your way,

The mourning sun can't rise after it sets.

If one keeps living always in the past

No real happy memories will last.
