In Your Arms No Pain Will Last

This is a classic Acrostic .. but with a twist, each even line has internal rhyme, each odd line has end rhyme ... plus odd lines are 8 syllables, even 6. Inside your smile, I rest awhile. No words; just eyes that speak, Yearning fingers, touch that lingers On silkiness of cheek. Under saffron light; before night Renders lovers to rest A kiss we share dispels despair, Remorse; a leaving guest. May faith enfold these arms that hold Safely, your tender trust. No nightmares come for dreams undone Once fear has turned to dust. Perhaps too fast my hand is cast And passion may just pause, If this is so then you must know, No-bodies perfect, all have flaws. When hesitation calls; builds walls, In this bond, created. Listen to me and you will see Lasting truth is stated Laying here, you so close, so near A vow, softly spoken. Shadows will not fall, end it all, This love shall never be broken.
