a this stanza has an ABBA rhyme scheme but the two middle lines are refrains to be repeated
each line is 8 syllables long
R1
a
a
R2 the rhyme scheme in the previous stanza is repeated but in opposite order the refrains consistently repeat BAAB
x
R1
a
R2
y the x & y lines repeat as do the refrains word for word and the middle line is still 8 syllables long and repeats the rhyme from the above stanzas
y
x repeats from the first stanza but in the opposite order.

If you should notice any spelling or grammatical errors...PLEASE...point them out to me.

You stole my heart right from the start This has never happened before your love swept me off of my feet I have never felt so complete you freed my soul and let it soar Your love swept me off of my feet I didn't know what was in store but I knew that I wanted more I have never felt...so complete You stole my heart your love swept me off of my feet a feeling I couldn't ignore I have never felt so complete right from the start Right from the start you stole my heart (Meditative Ballad) Sept. 30, 2018
