Qarinage

Created by Gregory R Barden - at least three verses of the following rhyme scheme, ABBACCDD + Refrain, (the refrain repeats after every verse), with syllable counts of 10,5,5,10,5,5,11,11 + 6, (6 is the refrain), and the LAST verse must have an EXTRA line of rhyme (D, 11 syllables), and an extra line of refrain, (6 syllables), that is different but rhymes.

I recognize the subtleties of love its reality is easy to see. An emotional gift sent from above to both the frightened and the enlightened. I understand the desire for passion's flame and sense how disappointment can turn to blame. But I feel there is more. My heart starts pounding like a thoroughbred when I am with you for your love is true. And when I feel loved, my smile starts to spread sharing sweaty palms without any qualms. Love is such an indescribable feeling I bounce head over heels, from floor to ceiling. But I feel there is more. Love titillates my heart and smooths my soul, and I understand why it feels so grand. You're the missing piece that made my heart whole We're but flesh and bone scared to be alone. Love lets lonely hearts visualize heaven gambling that fate will roll either a seven or beat the odds with a winning eleven. But I feel there is more to love than keeping score!

You did a remarkable job on this form that looks like a challenge to me Emile. A wonderful passionate piece that encompasses the reality of love with its contrasts. Bravo! Typo 17th line should be head over heels. Hugs, Connie

Beautiful, Emile, and I adore this part: "Love titillates both my heart and my soul and I understand why it feels so grand. You’re the missing piece that made my heart whole" - that would have been enough, but it was not as you always know what to do.
