I like the 6/7/7/6 construction - I don't think I've ever tried that.
I also like your abcb rhyming.
A most romantic story of secret interludes stolen between the estate owner's daughter and the hired help
I like his spirit of determination :-) Brooke

What a wonderful tale you tell here, of sweet love. I enjoy the 6-7-7-6 meter too. You are quite a talented writer. And SO funny:

As your Father's daughter,
you are his bright shining sun
but I am the hired help
fearing hot lead from his gun

I love it!! You make me want to be a better writer, you and Gungalo, that lovely lady I call friend! Thanks for the write!

The thrill of it all, the meeting of love's call ... oh my it is something that magnifies the love. Your poetic story is quite good and tells, as you said, an age old story. Love will go where it may, they say.

Your 6/7/7/6 meter has some flaws, as here:

fearing hot lead from his gun. (7 where it should be 6)

I love this, your final verse:
At this hour we embrace
taking love close to the edge
and hopefully time itself
won't drive a parting wedge.

Diehard romantics write the best poetry.;)
The form does it justice and your stanzas create perfect romantic imagery. Reminds me of some of my old writes when I believed love could come. Thanks for sharing!!! You have a true gift! May God richly bless it!

This is like watching a movie, you captured my attention and I was caught up in the story. Great flow of words and verses and an enjoyable poem to read. I admire your ability to tell a story in a poem.
