SWEET HARMONY’S DANCE

In sweet harmony, two joyful hearts dance,
attuned with just an enticing, caring glance;
beguiled by sparkling eyes of silken ebony,
two joyful hearts dance, in sweet harmony.

Amorous voices serenade at the edge of night,
echoing lyrical melodies' sentimental delight.
We're faithfully together, it's no masquerade!
at the edge of night amorous voices serenade.

Our fantasies bloomed from a magical potion,
a spellbound allure sealed a timeless devotion;
an attraction for life is a destiny we presumed,
from a magical potion our fantasies bloomed.

In our vivid Eden, each day is a precious gift,
dawn 'til twilight, embraces give a tender lift;
shared passionate raptures never forbidden,
each day is a precious gift, in our vivid Eden.

Love unfolds anew, we're free of loneliness,
dulcet whispers grace a surreal calmness;
glorious sunrises are now easier to pursue,
we're free of loneliness, love unfolds anew!

Dear John,

My goodness, you have worked hard, and to good effect !

I've hardly tried SQs, I've seen such good ones around, and never felt I wanted to spend so much time perfecting.

Well done.

Love
Alan

Alan,
Thanks. The SQ's are very challenging for me but if I can come up with an opening line, then I work on it to see if I can create an opening verse and then go from there...sometimes I give up; this time I fought through the maze.

Hi John

I'm amazed at how many of these you've written. You are truly an expert now. We'll have to see if Lori is still up for publishing a SQ Chapbook.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

Snow,
Thank you. They are laborious and frustrating to write and they take me more time than the average poem but I have grown to enjoy the form and the challenge that goes with creating one.
I do hope Lori finds the time to revisit the SQ project.

Good evening John - You old romantic you! A charming and passionate SQ.
I have carefully stayed away from this form, but am tempted by your verse
to try to work at one - as a challenge to myself. I would imagine that they require
rather a lot of thought!
Very cleverly done.
Hugs,
Leo

Leo,
Thanks. The form does test you a bit and its not the kind that you can just jump in and start writing cause it can get frustrating. Once in awhile, I will get an opening line that I think will work and I try to make something of it, but it can be a tedious process.
