Captured (Triolet)

My heart is given only unto thee As I am a slave to wanton desire Without you, I shan’t ever be free My heart is given only unto thee I ask, your power not release me Else, I would burn in eternal fire My heart is given only unto thee As I am a slave to wanton desire Triolet Its rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB and all lines are in iambic tetrameter; the first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines, thereby making the initial and final couplets identical as well.
