Brown Sonnet

Brown Sonnet By Arthur Knight

False falling Angel, heading to a hard-wood floor, In an lovers shaded lair.
Silently shaking, with a mournful stare, last action of beloved Clair.
helpless and used, stained and abused. ethically confused, noosed on a broken chair.
Such a dreadful pair, ending always, in suicidal despair.

kneeling, reciting, a tear-filled prayer, for self-repair.
Still plagued by memories of the baneful affair.
Reminding her why, she had to die.

Forsaken by the lights deepened shadowed seclusion's.

No wings to help her fly.
Only a rope, and a moral code to live by.
