Black and White (Florette)

39 12 13
                                    

Enchanted by your soul's pure glow.
Through the dense sea, my fervor will row.
A shield of armor, coated white.
The past solemnly fights, winds of endearment show.

~

Peripheral of black torment.
Sheltering my face, words held bent.
Hands cold as stone, tears fall on.
Collision gone wrong, a poor man's heart took for rent.

~

Sing to me, a dearest contrite.
Cocoon me whole, etched in your light.
Failed to serve my master, my Queen.
One spare moment, a grin spotlessly clean, she smites.

Thanks most_bay for always finding cool poems that I can secretly try out without you knowing till I post them! ;)

If you'd like to make your own Florette poem, here's how it works:

Rhyme scheme: a,a,b,a
Meter: 8,8,8,12.

The fourth line of each stanza is longer, and enwraps the previous lines. Line #4 requires an internal rhyme scheme that rhymes the eighth syllable with the end of line #3, and continues to add on four more syllables than the other lines so that the fourth line ends rhyming with lines #1 and #2.
