Answer To My Problems

The answer to all my problems
Lay deep within her open arms
Her lips a kiss waiting for me
Her love eternity's question

Lay deep within her open arms
Dreams of the night follow me home
I wander streets of cobblestone
For her love, in whom’s arms I lay

Her lips a kiss waiting for me
Like dessert after a good meal
Getting drunk on the finest wine
Two lips times two open connect

Her love eternity’s question
Our connection needs no reply
Not all mysteries get answered
Not all equations need get solved

This is for a dVerse prompt:
So for today’s MTB prompt we too are returning to a French poetry form but one we have not had before on dVerse. It’s very similar to the more familiar Quatern but for today we focus on The Retourne

16 lines made up of 4 quatrains
8 syllables per line
a tumbling refrain using the last 3 lines of the first stanza thus:
xABC Axxx Bxxx Cxxx.
unrhymed

I hope you enjoy! 😊
