I Found You (Zejel)

I sought to find the sunny skies There, found beauty before my eyes Your beauty is without disguise Reflects a love so very true No mask upon the sight of you Left with only one thing to do I succumb to the lover’s cries Now, here we are in warm embrace The sweet perfume, your porcelain face Body draped in beautiful lace Releases this mans deeper sighs I cannot live without you near Distance then, is my only fear I love you, darling, most sincere Until my unwanted demise overall rhyming scheme for the poem is aaa/bbba/ccca/ddda/... Colloquial language tends to be used, and 8-syllable lines are usual (though not obligatory).
