Lured By a Kiss

Transcending bliss, lured by a kiss. While giving love a brand-new start healing the wounds of yesterday, you chased all of my doubts away expunging the pain from my heart. Healing the wounds of yesterday you promised we would never part, and raising romance to an art you chased all of my doubts away. Transcending bliss, healing the wounds of yesterday with all the love you could impart, you chased all of my doubts away lured by a kiss. Lured by a kiss, transcending bliss. (Meditative Ballad) 4/27/2015 A meditative ballad. There are five stanzas structured as follows: x y is the first one, 4 syllables per line, both rhyme, both are a kinda refrain a R1 R2 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 the opposite order, the refrains consistently repeat, BA AB 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.

Dear Emile, It takes only one person and a special kiss to raise our hopes and cast away our fears about entering relationships. How quickly those "wounds of yesterday" can heal! Thank you for your intuitive comment on my poem. Enjoyed this one very much. High 7! Hugs, Carolyn

The form is intricate but you make it seem so easy. The line schemes, the refrains and the syllables perfectly co-ordinated. You were to poetry born. Awesome. #7
