No Surprise
(Modified Octogram)
When I look into her sweet eyes
There's no surprise,
Because that's when I realize
That look's for me.
Transported to a place of bliss,
A loving face that needs a kiss
Waiting all the time, patiently.
There's no surprise!
To taste those lips and hear her sighs,
There's no surprise!
A lasting gift, when love applies,
Given freely,
Responding to familiar bonds
In the sweetest ways she responds,
Given and offered totally,
There's no surprise!
There's Just Love.

Author Notes
For Valentines Day!
You can always read it in her eyes.
I wrote two Romances today. I put the other one in the contest. Hope I chose the right one.
This poem is a modified Octogram.
The Octogram is a style of poetry invented by Fanstorian Sally Yocom (S.Yocom). It consists of two stanzas of eight lines each, with a very specific syllable count and rhyme scheme.
Syllable count is 84848884, repeat on second stanza.
Rhyme scheme:
aBabccbB ababddbB, where B represents same text repeated.
No more than 16 lines
This one is modified because I changed the rhyme scheme to:
aAabccbA aAabddbA
where A represents the repeated text.
