I wrote this poem and gave it to an ex of mine. Now this person is an altar now left unworshipped, thus the name. Prior to the breakup, the poem was initially tited (name of ex)'s Villanelle.
I hold your hand, my guiding light
To our home, a warm November hearth
My treasure, my altar to life
Sweetest coffee, my pure delight
Blanket of bliss, your jubilant mirth
I hold your hand, my guiding light
In crisp ashen skies flies a kite
When sunshine tires you make up its worth
My treasure, my altar to life
Hair tranquil midnight, skin Valette white
Angelic kiss, your hips sway with your pert
I hold your hand, my guiding light
You surpass art, O perfect sight
I was made for you since birth
My treasure, my altar to life
Starshine my goddess of achrondite
I covet time with you on this Earth
You are my all, and all is right
My treasure, my altar to life
