Love Song

by Twisted Heart   Mar 4, 2009


Alas, my heart swayed with delight
Love captured true my soul in flight
Inside sweet arms I chance to be
Unhindered by the moon you see
And he was there, right next to me
His lips were faint upon my cheek
I had no course in which to flee
Nor did I wish to be set free
My heart was pounding rapidly
Each moment was pure rhapsody
The tender touches felt so right
Beneath the stars that danced that night

    Jeannie what a beautiful tender poem you've penned here. Soft and gentle and leaves the reader with sweet thoughts.

    I really enjoyed the form. Though it looks like it would be easy ... at least you make it look that way with the wonderful flow. I know it is much harder than it looks.

    Loved these opening lines ! Especially the "love captured true my soul in flight" it just gives the reader such a warm feeling. Magical ... like a first kiss.

    I was never good at formatted poetry, and it always scares me to do them (don't tell Luanne!) But it has always interested me, and I'm going to have to say, this looks like a really neat one to try. I've done some Sonnets before, but this one seems really fun!

    I really enjoyed this poem, it was very sweet and romantic. Nothing too mushy and nothing so plain, it was perfectly in-between! I really enjoyed your rhymes, and I really like how you did it so easily and fluent. 'Rhapsody' sheesh, who would have thought.

    The one line that threw me off a little was "Inside sweet arms I chanced to be". I guess it was the word 'chanced' for some reason I just didn't like it that much. To me it would have read better "a chance to be" but that's just me! Very nice poem! Maybe if I ever feel courageous I will attempt to do a Duo-Rhyme. Good job on this one!!
