Red Fire Sun

This heart I give you as red fire sun
sinks low in the evening sky
Accept your fate, for love must not wait
nor beg me the question as to why.
These lips I give to you to indulge
in hours of luscious kisses
for love must not wait, accept your fate
please kiss me until I am listless.
These eyes I give to you to drown within
swirling in their limpid pools
accept your fate, for love must not wait
sink down in my soul’s water, so cool.
This body I give filled with passion
and intense primal desires
for love must not wait, accept your fate
enter me and feed my raging fires.
Author’s Note: This is my first attempt at a ZaniLa rhyme poem.
Shadow Poetry has an explanation…
ZaniLa Rhyme
The ZaniLa Rhyme, a form created by Laura Lamarca, consists 4 lines per stanza.
The rhyme scheme for this form is abcb and a syllable count of 9/7/9/9 per stanza.
Line 3 contains internal rhyme and is repeated in each odd numbered stanza.
Even stanzas contain the same line but swapped.
The ZaniLa Rhyme has a minimum of 3 stanzas and no maximum poem length.
So powerful, direct…and beautiful. Really, really well done!
