If heart can lend a hand

heart to heart swim

cross seven seas to wild lands

and back with him

do gypsies dream upon beds of moss?

Hand in hand we roam

heart to heart all roads our home

This poem was inspired by If Hands Could Free You Heart, by Philip Larkin

I like that you're trying a slightly more tightly structured approach (while still deviating from the expected scheme). Was it intentional to suggest a rigid structure, only to leave it unfulfilled?
