Virgin Love

I long to feel the love you had for me
When you disrobed me as a blushing bride
Your every touch of hand brought ecstasy

So eager was your tongue on lips to slide
I shivered with delight as though in dream
My heart and soul inviting you inside

Each moment an eternity did seem
My virgin robe of red dismantled then
As tears of wonder from my eyes did stream

You held me close then touched me yet again
A woman now, my body all aglow
To this our prayer of love a sweet amen

Tonight I lie in bed, embraced by shame
The fire of your virgin love is tame.

Damn. A tame fire will quickly dissipate unless awoken from within. This poem was a true definition of a sensual reflection. The need is strong here.

Well, I didn't go to the link...I followed the poem he gave as an example and the the rhyme pattern he gave.

I went by the example in the form area. Is it not right??
Manassian Avatar
July 22, 2013 at 7:28 AM
Richard....I went back and double checked. The last two lines are a rhyme scheme of their own...FF...better go back and have a look and get back to me, ok?
Lamoureux Avatar

Excellent poem rework the last two lines to follow the form. The last two lines should not rhyme each other. The first line of the last stanza should rhyme with the second line of the previous stanza. I hope this helps.
