Torch Song. b.) Love Again, enfolded Sonnet

(triameter)  AA  BBB  CC  DDD  EE  FF



                        No Peace here!

....................Hearts break here!





................"Hope" and "Lies" compete

..................(they are NOT discrete!)

................"Hope" will "lies" defeat.





...........................Who knows, then

.......................how to be a friend?



.....................Strong through strife

................hearts find their new life,

....................turning away the knife



.......................that would cut apart

...................my soul from your heart;



................."Live Again"?, Oh, I  CAN!

              and, God, HELP me love again!





               Oh!, let   US   love again!!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The other half of this is (a), and the entire work when assembled is "Torch Song".   Print out the two halves, put the dotted lines together, and notice that they read as ONE Sonnet with a dual meaning.
