Love released (Waltz wave)

Those

Aqua

Eyes

Of sky

Blew my mind

Like a

Fire

passion

Hurricane;

Tearing my soul

From a bed

Of webs

Born

from a

Pained refrain.

Now wings

Lift

My heart

Free

WALTZ WAVE
This form, named for Leo Waltz, the Web Manager of Sol Magazine, asks for a one-stanza titled poem, with nineteen lines; each line has a set number of syllables.
Pattern: 1/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/3 /4/3/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/1
Words may be split into syllables to fit the pattern. This form seems to educe a soothing cadence as the lines gently increase and decrease, so it is suggested that topic chosen for this form also be soothing.

    Michael,

    I cannot believe that I missed this poem!!!!

    It is rare that I miss ANY love poems on pnq!!

    I REALLY love this Michael, especially the format, it allows the reader to absorb every single word and their meaning which in love poetry is essential and there is no way anyone could read this and not immediately be absorbed straight away and this form (which I am completely new to) really resonates and magnifies your words.

    Talking of which - your word choice is perfect, i mean really perfect - if i weren't a taken man my friend ...hahaha

    I've added this to my favourites and genuinely this is one of my favourite pieces of love poetry on pnq i wish i could nominate this.

    Awesomeness personified.

    Wonderful work, Michael and the imagery - as ever - is simply marvellous. I hope this is nominated; I'm out already!

    All the very best, good man,

    Indeed this is soothing. I hadn't heard of this form before but I like it (maybe that's because you did it and I'm biased about your work)
    Your word usage is spot on and you say a whole lot within such a limit.
    All the best, Em
