Lying next to you, this mind drifts away
As our bodies seek out what they could say
However, it's this time that seems to fight off sleep's dew
This mind drifts away, lying next to you
Not a word has been said, not even as our kisses burn
Just telling from the way my body alone screams to learn
At feeling that mighty rod you hold sensual power in this bed
Not even as our kisses burn, not a word has been said
Bliss is something not yet found, but knowing this is passion
Enrapture, thus far I feel, now has more than treasured compassion;
Fevered joining now erupting from within...iridescently profound
But knowing this is passion, bliss is something not yet found
Author notes
very first attempt with this style
Within the Swap Quatrain each stanza in the poem must be a quatrain (four lines) where the
first line is reversed in the fourth line. In addition, line 2 must rhyme with line 1, and line 3
must rhyme with line 4 and so on, BUT not repeat the same rhyming pattern on subsequent
stanzas.
Rhyming pattern: AABB, CCDD, and so on.
