The Cure-Love Song
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Technically, due to the consistent line repetition, is this an anaphora? Regardless, poetry, throughout my past and currently, inspires me. I enjoy patterns and receive a great sense of accomplishment when I discover not only a previously unknown (to me) pattern, but a symbol, or even a repeating concept. Although I possess no musical talent, often I hope to write a series of words worthy to be put to music. In each class, when studying a new form, I hope to discover the secret form to create the perfect song. Upon further observation I realize no secret exists. There is no formula, and no particular reason why one form proves better suited for a song than another. Songs reveal themselves in couplets, tercets, quatrains, and every combination. The rhyme schemes are numerous, sometimes obvious, and are equally not present at all. They range from free forms to, possibly, an anaphora. And while I feel as though I should feel disappointed, I am elated; you should be too. Brilliance, although often momentary, comes in every shape and style imaginable. Some of these styles don't even exist yet! We have endless opportunities to leave our literary mark, and that mark is often permanent.
