CayCay Godwin Poet Villanelle

MY DARLING VALENTINE

For Timothy Lee

Darling, take me in love’s tender embrace.
Let me nestle close upon your shoulder.
Being next to you is my perfect place.

     Sweetness, as our fingers now interlace
     I feel your kisses grow fiercely bolder.
     Darling, take me in love’s tender embrace.

          My Valentine, my eyes touch your sweet face.
          I submit my heart to you as holder.
          Being next to you is my perfect place.

               Your true love is mine by Heaven’s good grace.
               Our gold love glows more as we grow older.
               Darling, take me in love’s tender embrace.

                    You are my every day, my secure base,
                    And I, your soft committed beholder.
                    Being next to you is my perfect place.

                                   Valentine, I cherish our loving pace.
                                      ~ My heart is your clay and you, its molder.
                                         ~ Darling, take me in love’s tender embrace.
                                            ~ Being next to you is my perfect place.

Paul Callus February 14, 2016 at 10:31 AM Villanelle is a challenging form, CayCay, but you dealt with it with the confidence of an 'old' hand. I can feel the catchy flow and romantic vein; rhyme could have been a hindrance, but you coped effortlessly. ~ Regards // paul
