Eyes of An Angel {Double Lento}

Gold eyes stare rounded from a face above
Bold are the caressing words that leave
Mold did my mind to find this love
Sold is my heart to the one who believes

Composed are these eyes, like a dream
Transposed in gold and set to love
Supposed to be easy, this didn't seem
Expose my heart to this angel above

Forming a new adoration for these gentle eyes
Warming is this amazing golden stare
Storming through my mind I may defy
Informing you that this surely isn't fair

Crucify these golden eyes for they are my sin
Derive these piercing eyes from the story inside
Survive did my heart simply beat deep within
Arrive did my love for these angel eyes.

A Lento consists of two quatrains with a fixed rhyme scheme of abcb, defe as the second
and forth lines of each stanza must rhyme. To take it a step further, but not required, try
rhyming the first and third lines as well as the second and forth lines of each stanza in this
rhyming pattern: abab, cdcd. The fun part of this poem is thrown in here as all the FIRST
words of each verse should rhyme. There is no fixed syllable structure to the Lento, but
keeping a good, flowing rhythm is recommended.

For an added challenge, one may write a four-verse Lento and call it a Double Lento, or a
six-versed Lento to become a Triple Lento.
