My Heart Isn'T For Me To Give (Sonnet) Poem by pedro moshood

My Heart Isn'T For Me To Give (Sonnet)



I never knew you thought of love the same way.
The plume apple juice is sour to the tongue,
So I have no feeling to share with you in the grave.
The early May roses shield off their leaves for us.
I never knew the seed we both planted
Have grown and riped, the fruits are good to eat,
Although all fruits have a blossoming season,
And time for them to rot like corps in the field.
This heart isn't meant for man to choose and pick
But for death the reaper, so we bear the grief.
We are all beggars, hence we strive for heartbeat,
For man cannot decide how long to live.
This way, that way and every way is okay
For blooming love, unlike roses, to ripe in May

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Thematic Analyses Of 'My Heart Is Not For Me To Give'
This is a traditional, nature and ethical poem with lyrical beauty and allusive imagery.
The first stanza begins with the tone of concession where the poet unravels his past confusion and doubt to the reader that he 'never knew' his addressed 'thought of love the same way' as he does, because he used to think that his perception and opinion is emotionally different from from the addressed.
The 'the plume apple juice' that ought to have produced a better taste is 'sour to the tongue', therefore giving him a bitter and arsh experience because of its deceptive appearance, 'plume'.
The poem proceeds as the speaker makes it clearer to the addressed that he 'can't share his feeling in the grave' through the instinctive consideration of the limited time and his perception that their enjoyment and fun and pleasure time can offer is limited to the period of their existence. The speaker talks about old age indirectly when he says that 'May roses will shield of. The leaves'. Why does the speaker talks about the 'leaves' and not any other component of the flower? The. Answer is that he understands the beauty of the leave of the rose flower so that he compares it with the time of youth.
In the second stanza, it is a little bit clear when the speaker expresses his previous doubt, but now coupling it with ignorance when he says he 'never knew the seed' they 'both planted have grown and ripe' and that the 'fruits are good to taste' as against the impression of the first sour-tasted 'plume apple', and this consequently established his full conviction after the 'different taste' and comparison.
Despite the fact that the taste of the second fruits is good, the speaker believes that 'although all fruits have a blossoming season', nevertheless, there will be time 'for them to rot like corps on the field'-the very field where they are fertilized.
Furthermore, the speaker compares death to 'the reaper', that is, the end to every existing human, animal and plant, as we generally know that everyone is bound by the same ultimate faith. He successfully compares mankind to 'beggars' striving for 'heartbeat' through the ceaseless scientific research for him to live a convenient and prolonged life through the invention of technology and the discovery of different drugs to alleviate sickness. In spite of this, death is inevitable, so we have to embrace it.
In the two last line, the speaker finally brings everything into a conclusive summary that we can establish our feelings in different ways that his beyond the beauty of 'roses', the beauty that can not immortalized and is just limited a period that he considers, no matter the length, as single monthe 'May '.

There is time for everything. I will keep saying that the ideal of writing poetry and analyzing it establishes the authenticity of the authorship. Although I'm fifteen years of age, my knowledge in poetry is ideal because it is deeply in the work of ancient writers.
