Poetic Form: Envelope Couplet <br /> <br />Somebody set my heart afire, <br />Somebody filled me with desire. <br />I cannot speak his name today <br />It's a secret ~ hidden away! <br />Someone took me higher and higher <br />Somebody set my heart afire. <br /> <br />Somebody set my heart afire; <br />A handsome man, I still admire. <br />Once he asked me to 'name the day' <br />I couldn't. What would husband say? <br />'Twould be treachery, love for hire. <br />Somebody set my heart afire. <br /> <br />Somebody set my heart afire, <br />and I was sinking into the mire, <br />Mad about him ~ I told him so, <br />But this was many years ago. <br />Since then I've walked along barbed wire. <br />Somebody set my heart afire.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/somebody-fictitious/
