Zincograph Plate

As I walk the scented paths through
Beautiful bright flowers that entice.
Capturing memories in their folds I,
Dream of times now past and gone
Each one in itself a treasure to savour.
Fondly I recall such special times,
Heavenly hours spent with you
In blissful moments we shared.
Jealously I hold them to my heart.
Keening softly to myself, my 
Love for you will always abound.
Magical fantasy's come in my dreams.
Now never in this life to again share,
Or to be able to hold you near, in
Passions throngs once more.
Quintessential desires burn deep,
Racing through my veins,
Setting me still on fire.
Tortuously teasing, driving me mad,
Understanding, not at all why?
Vacant still my heart remains
With longings unsatisfied.
Xenoglossia people can not us reunite.
Zincograph print is all that now remains.

shadow, a question (if you could reply via one of my poems or in soupmail) In your contest, does it matter if we start with a one syllable line and go longer and then reverse? I usually enjoy doing it that way vs. starting with long line and going smaller. Or do we have to start with long line and get smaller and then reverse it after that? Thanks!!

I was not a fan of this style until I read this. A great poem and not weighed down by the form. Excellent. As an aside I love great poetry the form should be invisible that is what you have done here. thank you.
