Satin Flowers

Poetry By: Bart Muysmees

The theme speaks for itself I think. I really wanted to write a sonnet with an acrostichon (the first letters forming last and first name), which is why it may sometimes seem a little forced.. I'm still learning! :)

Torment me with your beauty please no more

enchanting me with ev'ry breath you take

My dreams impose the face I so adore

Bathed in light, disallowing night to wake

Utmost misery dominates my days

You sadly shun to move towards my embrace

So exampling the cruelty of God's ways

earthly beauty could never match your grace

Radical slave I will be no longer

Satin flowers I can no more pursue

Absence of your charm will make me stronger

Master this illusion I must now do

This I know, despite my undying love

embrace no more this freedom-craving dove
