With my last breath, I'll love you till the end;
physical realm our love will transcend
riding waves, ebb & flow enchanted ocean
moving together with harmonic motion
connection too mystical to comprehend
on crisp white sheets our love we penned
bleeding hearts, our words a unique blend
expressing affection, easing commotion
with my last breath
sensual words loving notes we did send
spirits flexible, sailing around the bend
entwined bodies rocking in slow motion
declaring our love , endless devotion
celestial heavens, stars & moon I ascend
with my last breath
for dVerse Writing to the form Rondeau

Hi Hank,
DeleteThanks for visiting and the comment. I always like to read your words.
You captured a sensuality and love together with melancholy in a very good way.. This form works so well for you
ReplyDeleteBjorn,
DeleteThank you for your kind words, this form is usually hard for me
to master. I think you do a lovely job with it at your place.
An emotionally strong poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is astounding !! drenches heart with so pure emotion filled with eternal love:)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your visit and lovely words.
DeleteThis is a beautiful, sensual, romantic poem as it stands - so kudos for that, but ...
ReplyDeleteI honestly think it could be better. With a little attention to the meter, you could make this good poem great. What do I mean? Your first line is fabulous; perfect iambic pentameter; 10 syllables in the line with all the stresses as expected. The second line has 12 syllables; if the first line were to end with a semi-colon you could remove the redundant word 'above' (transcend means to be above, to eclipse, to be greater than) and your second line would then be pentameter too. There are a number of other minor alterations, mostly about meter, that I could suggest.
Please take this as critique, which is neutral at worst and intended to be helpful - that's what I intend - at best, not criticism, which has collected too many negative overtones to be constructive.
This is already a lovely poem; you've chosen an excellent rentrement/refrain and you've nailed the rhyme scheme of the rondeau, which are by far the two hardest parts of writing to this form.
Good Morning,
DeleteFirst, I thank you for the prompt this form is a bit hard for me as I get caught up in the rhyme scheme of the rondeau and forget about meter. I can def see what you are saying. I altered the first, line to see the impact and I have to agree with you. It makes a stronger statement.
I thank you for taking the time to leave me some constructive feedback as this will help me in my writing. Who doesn't want
to pen a great poem? Smiling have a great day!
smiles...i like the intimacy...the devotion beyond even this life...that is a rare love...and the passion behind it as well...you def lay the emotions out there with your pen...smiles.

Beautiful, flows with the gentle rocking motion of the waves. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nico...
DeleteYes, this is so rhythmic, and such delicate descriptions.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLook at you rhyme away
ReplyDeleteThe cat likes that at your bay
And wow hips will sway
As two hearts surely play
Such a love that transcends all
Hopefully that ship hears your call
I think it might have though
But what does the cat know
Rhyming away what can I say
Deletemuch like the cat does everyday
still trying to get to bora bay..(smiling)
SO beautiful, especially the two closing lines....sigh.
