It's Your Life
In love's embrace, our lives entwine,
With passion's fire, our hearts align,
In kindness, we find solace sweet,
A melody of souls, in love's heartbeat.
Embrace all of your life with love,
Like stars that shine in skies above,
Let tenderness your spirit guide,
In love's warm glow, forever bide.
With every breath, with every sigh,
In passion's dance, we reach the sky,
Our souls aflame, forever bound,
In love's enchantment, we are found.
Kindness, like a gentle stream,
Flows through our days, a radiant beam,
In every act, in every word,
Love and kindness, our hearts have heard.
So let us heed this sacred call,
To love, to passion, to kindness all,
In life's grand tapestry we weave,
The legacy of love, we shall believe.
Normally, I do not care for
Normally, I do not care for the archaic sound of inversion of adjectivenoun order (like "solace sweet" in the third line of this poem) because people do not talk that way. I understand it is often compelled to comply with the rhyme scheme. But, while I normally do not like it, in this poem---which is otherwise so charming---it is not a defect at all, but seems to be an appropriate way for the poem to speak. I applaud your accomplishment, and this second demonstration of your skilled use of the ballad quatrain.
