Sponsor, Regina Mcintosh

This poem is made up of two poems that are intertwined,
and the name of the form is "Contrapuntal" 
The lines on the left are one poem. 
The indented lines are the second poem.

Rhymes of Love

A tender smile, a fleeting glance
     Eyes that meet to touch the soul
Missed beats of hearts and minds, in trance
     A deepened sense of something whole
To feel that urge, beyond control
     To share all things of mind and heart
Bring warmth and comfort to the soul
     And of the whole, become a part
Within each aura’s brilliant glow
     A touch of closeness, heartfelt rays
Spring surge of passions that bestow
     Warm radiance of inner blaze
Strong flowing currents charged with fire
     Bathe in the light of endless glow
That fan, and feed true love’s desire
     A current sparked with- constant flow
Surrender fear, lay each soul bare
     Two beating hearts, as one, to care
And bond as one love to declare
     Two open souls, in silence, share

Mark Toney February 24, 2019 at 2:34 PM Sandra, thank you for introducing me to the Contrapuntal form. Each and every line feels natural and uncontrived, and each line beautifully dovetails with the next. It even reads well backwards! I have to Fav it :) Congratulations on your win on Mile 20 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest! Thank you so much for supporting my contests.

Andrea Dietrich October 18, 2017 at 5:13 PM I noticed in her example for us, she did not rhyme the longer lines. But I think it's a cool way to do it. Sandra Haight October 20, 2017 at 7:47 AM Yes, Andrea...a little confusing. The contest called for "a rhyme within a rhyme" so that is what I composed. We will see....

Andrea Dietrich October 18, 2017 at 5:12 PM I think you really nailed that form, Sandra and very beautifully!! Sandra Haight October 20, 2017 at 7:47 AM Thank you so much, Andrea. Hugs, Sandra
