Lust building wildly in my loins,

giving me the needing to sire.

Laying down and making it part,

tunnel of love is my desire.



Womanizer I’ve always been,

chasing for that which I require.

Some say it is nothing but sin,

tunnel of love is my desire.



For years now I have been so bold,

I know it’s time I should retire.

But even though I have grown old,

tunnel of love is my desire.

Kyrielle


A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines), and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.


Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.


Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc. with Z being the repeated line.
