Sonnet 074

A hymn inside my head, your voice so dear,

you haunt me in my sleep and in my wake.

Somewhere deep within, your whisper I hear,

crisp and clear, as perfect as a heart ache.

Sad images I keep, nightmares I take.

Still, I go forward onto my own road,

towards the rising sun for my soul’s sake.

How I’ve prayed my heart be free of this load-

of the memory of your lovely voice,

or a tomorrow not meant for this world.

Thus, heart’s happiness is always a choice,

to go on and live as a wise man told.

Forever lingering, scars will not mend,

yet, someday its feel a forgotten fiend.
