My Love Remains
For my love remains
Weathered but untethered
Beaten, but yet unbowed
Saved as if some treasure
And buried just as deep
For my love remains
Hidden not forbidden
Has strength, but yet so frail
Chorus well remembered
Verses lost over time
For my love remains
Abject but incorrect
Pleasure, but yet the pain
Trying to roll a ten
With just one die in hand
For my love remains
Actor but detractor
Jester, but yet so real
Like after faded pain
When everything is numb
Ornate but underweight
Wanted but yet unsought
Something vestigial
That doesnβt go away
For my love remains
Amazing π your love remains powerful
Thanks V!

I like the style of this poem – same opening line for each stanza, except the last one that closes with it. And then there is the rhyming of the words on the second lines. Is this a form of poetry, or did you create this style yourself? If it is your style, then I think you need to give it name so that you can claim it! π
You caught me, Jim! It is a style of my own making. First line is the refrain, five or six syllables. Second line is a contradiction given in rhyme, six syllables. Third is an unrhyming contradiction, six syllables. And the final two lines in the stanza should tie together and convey a solid concept, both six syllables. Last stanza simply moves the refrain to the last line of the poem. I have not studied all the defined styles yet, so there may be something just like this out there already, I am just not sure. If not, then I will name this style Jodetta, as an homage to my loving sister! Thanks for reading, noticing, and commenting!
