Katherine Braithwaite Poet Villanelle

One More Time,Dearest

I still  long to see you one more time
I would endure that pain of loss again
Yes, I still am with you in my dreams

I'd like to know your thoughts before you died
You concentrated,focussed, that was plain
I have  longed to see you one more time

I felt it was a Play we were inside
Then we’d come back home, where we have lain
We are still  companions  in my dreams

What of love is captured in a rhyme?
So much  so called "poetry" seems inane
I still wish to see you one more time

Love is  not a concept of the mind
I need your comfort but I need in vain
We are still  companions  in my dreams

Now I walk alone on new terrain
I do not suffer torture, am not blamed
I have  longed to see you one more time
I  cannot ask you questions in my dreams
