Only Bounds: Poem

After doing a year of almost exclusively writing free and blank verse poetry, I'm wanting to rediscover my original poetic joys of using rhyme and consistent rhythm. Here's a piece I wrote that I don't want to submit for mass publication, so I'm posting it here on my hub. It's probably sappy, though that's not my intention. It's many just that I like these particular words and how they sound together.

I hope you enjoy it!

In new love

I've never found

the eyes to countenance

in frown

nor skin to matte

nor sobs to sound

nor plodding steps--

only bounds.

Thanks for Reading.
