All Of Me ( Trois-par-Huit)

----------------All Of Me ( Trois-par-Huit)

----------------------Patterns change
---------------- Can my heart rearrange
-------- These strange emotions swirling inside?

--For time has revealed a love that won't be denied
-What passion conceived when two thirsting souls collide

----------- All that I own, I now give to thee
-------------------- All I shall ever be
--------------------------All of me

With thanks to Kiko for his valued input:)

    Hello Ingrid,

    I can honestly say, I have not come across this form before. I can see you must have posted this before the centre placing option was available - you could edit this easily and it would look even better.

    The poem starts with a question. Can a heart change after feeling a certain way for so long? It then delicately describes a passionate period, as 'two thirsting should colliding' - I liked this unique phrase - it paints a vivid image of two lovers, who have waited, probably, too long for their soul mate.

    The final section - now that love is established, a declaration to give to it wholly.

    Ingrid, a super write and one I will have to try myself.

    ((hugs)) xx

    What a pretty poem. I love the way it was structured, it didn't sound forced at all. 5/5

    Sorry but had to write the comment in english since it wouldn't accept my dutch one.

    very well written poem, and a difficult one to.

    it's a rare gift to be able to express such a large feeling as love with so little words.

    sorry if my englisch is lacking this time, i'm a bit tired.
