The French Influence can be seen in this one, where there is a longer syllable count and a repeat line or word,
and is believed to have become a popular form in the late 1800s. It consists of a couplet of usually eight syllables, which sets the rhyme for the subsequent stanzas, and a third line which can be repeated totally or phrase or just the final word.

Maryse Achong"As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart A thousand hands will naturally come to your aid As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart You will reach out with a thousand hands to help others." A thousand hands that render aid, Ears that hear ev'ry cry that's made; The pledge of the Goddess Guan Yin. When we are worried or dismayed, Overcome by despair, afraid, Remember the Goddess Guan Yin. But what we receive must be paid Back to others, in a fair trade Off, so says the Goddess Guan Yin. back to list |
Divena CollinsBack in medieval asylum school, elders were strict, and could be cruel on the first of April, this day of fools. Sent on silly errands for jest, inmates tried there very best, on the first of April, this day of fools This we all still practise today but in a very much kinder way, on the first of April, this day of fools. But when midday, be gone and done, you be a fool, for making them one. on the first of April,this day of fools. back to list |
Jem FarmerI closed my eyes so I could see There is a better path for me, When spring calls my Goddess returns. Amid the stones on bended knee, I felt her touch spread over me, In honour, my Goddess returns. Oh Queen of all who has blessed me, In thy light I'm forever free, In new life my Goddess returns. Daffodils trumpet thy glory, As blossoms shade the cherry tree, In delight my Goddess returns. The babbling brook sings to thee, From the mountain to the valley, To this world my Goddess returns. I lay me down so standing free, And face my own humility, In my heart my Goddess returns. ----- Pictures of Silence Calling to mind tranquil places, where the soul meets those embraces that create my peaceful vision. Breathing in, slowing life's paces intense moments knowing graces I found in my peaceful vision. Imagined beach, tidal traces leaving intricate sand laces on shores of my peaceful vision. ----- Rebounding Heart The taste of love has lingered on, a brief instant that stayed too long, rebounding heart that led to you. Each kiss a lie, a mourning song, embraced in thought this love is wrong, rebounding heart that led for you. A promised tryst did not belong, between us two when hurts were strong, rebounding heart that led to you. No chance to breath or think as one, just asked for time was given none, rebounding heart that led to you. Amid the web of lies you spun, I smile and see new life begun my loving heart has closed to you. back to list |
Ryter RoethicleIn dreams to great heights you can soar In dreams, you find great depths galore But like true love it can only be in dreams Once you have kissed, your mind can explore More thoughts, and discover who you adore But true love need not be in dreams. I will admit oftimes of you I've dreamt But those promises and vows I've meant Like true love need not be in dreams. Your very presence my senses wildly tempt Please welcome this lover's shy attempt And prove my love need not be in dreams. ----- Finding Treasure (Modern) Let us touch for a little while, Eternity is fine Let our souls mingle, let yours, meet mine. You have become a treasure in my life. In that time I hope neither will emerge Instead I pray that they stay converged You have become a treasure in my life. Fate was smiling allowing us to meet Knowing we make each other complete You have become a treasure in my life. ----- Give all to love Tonight love reached its peak so far each time we love, we raise the bar for true love has set its mark to all.

I am reminded there is nought bizarre, we cannot do with loving for we are true love that sets its mark to all. ----- Loves Tune Dancing to loves tune, spin and turn The fever of love causes you to burn Inside your heartbeat skips and pounds Your lover's steps you quickly learn And whilst apart your innards churn. Inside your heartbeat skips and pounds Each night to loves dancing we return Bodies touching as you nightly yearn Inside your heartbeat skips and pounds Souls locked in a heavenly sojourn There's no contest, no points to earn Inside your heartbeat skips and pounds ----- Not Broken I found a bird with a broken wing Each morning I had heard her sing Then found her broken on the floor. Dawns chorus silenced by something That did not appreciate spring And left her broken on the floor. I loved, and cared and fixed her wing Now into the sky you see her fling She's no longer broken on the floor. My reward is hearing her sing With music that's fit for any king Proving she's not broken on the floor. ----- Seasons (Modern) Now we begin a brand new life Extracted by a drunken midwife A screaming, messy, painful time Summer has sweet playful fingers Memories of first time love lingers A screaming, messy, pleasured time Autumn is when the peace begins Finally love becomes free of sins Still a messy, pleasurable time Maturity takes less of a fervour At the fireside, lovers remember Those messy, pleasurable times. ----- Xong (Complete) When soft voices die or fade away Then where are we, what do we say We must first look into our eyes. That way all fears we can allay For they simply bid that I stay After looking into your eyes. ----- Z Time As the sandwoman closed my eyes Contentment caused my sighs Dreams of you and I, tonight. We were looking at the stars and skies Then with the evenings soft demise I dreamt of you and I, tonight. When you look at me I can't disguise Feelings of desire you cause to arise Then I dream of you and I, tonight. back to list |
Nia WynneYou came in the night like a thief, A Leprechaun with gold relief, By chance your charm shall bring me luck. You threw the dice, gave a symbol, A circle of gold, probable By chance your charm shall bring me luck. You gave me some cards telling of A risk involving games of love, By chance your charm shall bring me luck. You thought it was just like roulette, Yet time to be free without threat, By chance your charm will bring me luck. ----- For Once All because you are on my mind At dawn of day new hopes I find, For once the stars do shine above. All my divine thoughts are yours now, The answers sought you whisper how For once the stars do shine above. All of time paints loves purple wine Across horizons lovely shrine, For us the stars do wink above. back to list |
