I want it structured like a sonnet

I want it structured like a sonnet

pentameters and all, octets and sestets,

coupled faces to fall

in love with when I look at you; I solicit

with your echoed answer forever

and forever reverberating between us.

Octaval parallels we have been

on alternating pendulum to discord,

and to hum dissenting chords

gave us a laugh, and we are back

and forth and back in the undulating

give and take of the structure of the sonnet.
