Relationship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFFIJKLMNO| This love older than I by myriad | A |
| Saddened centuries was once a prayer | B |
| In his bones that made them grow in years of | C |
| Adolescence to this favored height yes | D |
| It was my desire that made him male | E |
| And beautiful so that when at last we | F |
| Met to believe that once I knew not his | G |
| Form his quiet touch or the blind kindness | H |
| Of his lips was hard indeed Betray me | F |
| Yes he can but never physically | F |
| Only with words that curl their limbs at | I |
| Touch of air and die with metallic sighs | J |
| Why care I for their quick sterile sting while | K |
| My body's wisdom tells and tells again | L |
| That I shall find my rest my sleep my peace | M |
| And even death nowhere else but here in | N |
| My betrayer's arms | O |
