day 10; why do i rhyme?

Why,
     when I speak of love,
do I rhyme?

Say Poetry is the heart,
     the words a song,
and rhyme the sweet melody which stirs the soul;

a lover should dance effortlessly.
     Discordance:
a jumble of mismatched pieces.

I find I only rhyme
     in matters of love
when I know the person very little,

for knowledge unlocks
     sour notes and harsh words—
rhyme is the ignorant bliss

of distant attraction.
