Lost, in the Ecstasy, of you... (Retourne)

Lost, in the Ecstasy, of you... (Retourne)

Lost, in the Ecstasy, of you,
Left Transfixed, I am, Every Time,
Enchanted, by your Every Hue.
A Flutter is this Heart of mine.

Left Transfixed, I am, Every Time,
Enthralled, within your Rhapsody,
Spelled, so, by your Presence, Divine,
Enamored, and in such Fancy.

Enchanted, by your Every Hue,
Charmed, by your Wonder, Heaven Sent,
Engrossed, by every inch of you,
Besot with, Rapture, Wonderment.

A Flutter is this Heart of mine,
Butterflies Dance, amidst My Soul.
Bewitched, I am, time after time,
Infatuated, Captured, Whole...

Retourne: A Retourne is a French poetry form wherein repetition is used, employed. It consist of four quatrains (four-line stanzas), with each line having eight syllables. The trick is though that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first line, the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's fourth line is the fourth stanza's first. Retournes can but do not have to rhyme.
