Come Into Morning, Stay Into Night

Come into the morning, and stay into night
hide in the shadows, and run from the light
The welcome within, must show a face
stodgy in sadness, and stoic in grace
gaze of forgiving and smile of a sprite
come into morning and stay into night

Come into the morning, and stay into night
the desire is emotion that you cannot fight
lovingly, tenderly, your face: in my hands
show me the wonders of noctural lands
sweet dreamer of dreams until the first light
Come into the morning, and stay into night


(C) Jeff Feezle 3/2010


------------
These are called 'envelope couplets'
where the formula for the rhyming lines are:
A1.
a.
b.
b.
a.
A2

couplets or triplets
short or gigantic
I like this one simply
because it's romantic

Hey ol Walt! ?Como estas?
The format of envelope couplets have a nice sonnet feel to them, and are very pleasing to our rhythm bones!
Thanks buddy!
