Contest:Character Poetry Contest/Cast - Nephy

Nephy
Character Name: Cast Logan

Notes: Cast loves making poetic compositions although dislikes the genre a love and romance. Once, in her school, their teacher tasked them to make a journal about a letter to their future husband/wife. Failure to submit by the next day, 65 on their journal grade. Her throat clumped and tightened. She almost vomited at that time. So, what choice does she have than to just do it while she can in a form of sonnets? That night, she spent it all brainstorming on what to compose. She haven't found anything in the present but in the past. Her past about how love had afflicted the father whom she loved so much when her own mother was the real reason of his death. The hatred she still has in her hadn't still changed and to express it in the form of composition, is the best way to voice out what she has to say about love. Although the poem is plain, it has a coded message for readers to decrypt. And so, she began to write. ..

Poem:

 Love's Sonnets 

First Sonnet: Still In Wonder

I made an oath and a promise to me

That I swear to my heart I would not love and be loved by thee,

How can I feel and define what the heart speaks in beats?

I see love as to be a battle but coming home with defeated fleets.

No one ever wins nor does no one ever lose

Returning from an emotion with bloody scars and bruise,

A gruesome heartbreak sleeping with sleepless nights

An unyielding heartache with awfully tearful beady eyes,

As I apprehend I came to realize how selfish I’ve been

Christ have suffered because of love, and because of sin,

I’ve thought and considered only the torment

But never have I gave a glimpse and see love’s enduring commitment,

A letter to my future husband is what I intend to write

But choosing the right words is not easy to find.

Second Sonnet: To My Lover

Dearly, my lover, I’ve never envisioned I would meet thee

For I made a pledge, a vow that I swore to me,

I caged my heart so never would I feel love’s horrid fantasy

But then there you are, you held me up and set me free,

Love as I perceived was all feign and truthful lies

As past was veiled, I used to be adamant to open my heart’s eyes,

I fled from love for I thought it was all misery and distress

''A coward have I been! Love is pain, cruel but kind and merciless,''

Enduring all that is like death, I’ll do whatever for true love’s sake

Only then have I understood, love is what I am to offer and never forsake,

A broken promise is what I have left behind

Regret never whispered for I found what I never ought to find,

I’ve felt again what feeling have I lost

Numb from the shivers, your warmth melted away my winter’s frost.

Third Sonnet: For My Groom and Husband to Be

Church bells ring, a wedding am I to attend

As I walk down the aisle I still have one last message to send,

To my groom and dearly husband to be

I shall give my priceless gift and unbreakable promise to thee,

Towards the altar we will march, now, hear me as I say,

My vow I shall state and my gift shall I lay,

With you and only you will I forever be

I will live within even hearing death singing tenderly,

In sickness or in health,

In poverty and in wealth,

Obstruction may come but never will I bend faint-heartedly

Only to you and you alone I am giving my kept virginity,

As I say sincerely my I do and as you say yours,

You are mine forever and I am yours.
