Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rondeau

Lattice of Oneness

Carved of one stone strong, you and I
In our texture same lattice lie
Oneness binds our grains together.
Eroding times' wrath can’t alter 
Twined heart's tie even if they try.

On our common strength we rely
People don't fail to wonder why
In diverse life stature we are
Made of one stone.

On us, time a river flows by
Souls shine, two minds fuse, petrify
On face of lithic still mirror
We see us made for each other.
For final sleep on bed we’ll lie 
Made of one stone.

Donna Roberts November 5, 2017 at 6:26 AM I am not familiar with rondeau style but I enjoyed your poem and the incorporation of One Stone...one day ..I will try to familiarize myself with the style!! Subimal Sinha-Roy November 5, 2017 at 6:33 AM Thank you, Donna or visiting and appreciating. Rondeau form is not that difficult, you have to do a lot of rhyming within fixed syllable count.
