Coup De Coeur

It would never be the same
this heart, aching in the moment,
growing “a la Grinch”,
seeded with a look, a gaze
gossamer, this veil of lust
this gentle coup of crown and throne
this empty castle - drawbridge down.

Wonderful writing. I looked up a form of seven lines to try and this looks a bit like that one
