Quench My Desire

If my thirst for love, I could quench my heart would beat in rhythmic sound and not be saddened, torn in wrench Happiness would be joy unbound Hunger to be wanted, sated if my thirst for love, I could quench. For eons of time I've waited Lonely wallflower on a bench Sorrowful tears, my clothes in drench. Embers would glow in my heart's fire if my thirst for love, I could quench. At last I'd be filled with desire Where is the one of whom I dream To his love, I shall ever clench. I'd search each silvery moonbeam If my thirst for love, I could quench ...................................... June 4th 2017 Broken Wing's "Q" Form

Beautiful poem, Lin. It inspired a gorgeous response poem from Daniel. Very cool call-and-response Quaterns by you two. Both were so very romantic. A joyous read. A most pleasurable experience indeed. Stellar elegant expressions this poem is. Love and smiles.

Not only is this a difficult form to write in but you have made this amazingly beautiful Lin! My congratulations for just being able to write one! I don't think people realize how difficult these are to write and to have them flow smoothly and not sound forced in rhyme. Brava my friend! This beauty belongs a top winner on the list! : )
