Keith Logan Poet Villanelle

My Heart Belongs To You

My heart I found belonged to you;
ached to be by your side again!
And wondered did you love me too?

Or had you missed a vital clue,
and suffered I alone in vain?
My heart I found belonged to you.

While this discovery yet was new,
I wept to feel my heart might drain,
and wondered did you love me too?

The depth of feeling inward grew,
I fought composure to maintain!
My heart I found belonged to you.

I thought about what might ensue,
if I should make my feelings plain!
And wondered did you love me too?

I fret now over time we knew,
innocent past would fain sustain!
My heart I found belongs to you,
and wonders do you love me too?

Tim Smith October 13, 2016 at 7:33 AM A lovely Villanelle Keith. Really enjoyed. Keith Logan October 13, 2016 at 3:09 PM Thank you. I don't often enjoy the constraints of strict form but in this case I really did. It just felt comfortable.
