The Sea's Wash In The Hollow Of The Heart... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFG HIJKLLML| Turn from that road's beguiling ease return | A |
| to your hunger's turret Enter climb the stair | B |
| chill with disuse where the croaking toad of time | C |
| regards from shimmering eyes your slow ascent | D |
| and the drip drip of darkness glimmers on the stone | E |
| to show you how your longing waits alone | E |
| What alchemy shines from under that shut door | F |
| spinning out gold from the hollow of the heart | G |
| - | |
| Enter the turret of your love and lie | H |
| close in the arms of the sea let in new suns | I |
| that beat and echo in the mind like sounds | J |
| risen from sunken cities lost to fear | K |
| let in the light that answers your desire | L |
| awakening at midnight with the fire | L |
| until its magic burns the wavering sea | M |
| and flames carress the windows of your tower | L |
