Here is my Dizain Poem:
Ember of the Heart
Love burns in silence, soft as candle flame,
It flickers low yet never fades away,
A breath a glance, and nothing stays the same,
The night turns gold beneath its tender sway
Through storm and shadow hearts will lose their way,
Yet still they circle back, by unseen thread,
To where the first sweet whisper stirred the air,
Love's voice us both the wound and balm it shed,
It breaks us open, teaches how to care,
A fire we fear, yet crave yet crave the heat to bear.
The dizain is a 10-line French poetic form, traditionally composed of a single stanza. It follows a strict rhyme scheme of ABABBCCDCD and typically uses 10 syllables per line. Popularized by French poets in the 15th and 16th centuries, it has also been adapted by English writers.
