Trudy Diane Rider Poet Villanelle

Tender Whispers In the Night

Tender whispers adrift in the night
pillow talk, memories, how their love grew
two souls combine to withstand the fight

Dark shadows linger just out of sight
face to face, eye to eye, talking fears through
their tender whispers drift through the night

Angels await to take him to the light
fingers entwined, hearts beating true
two souls combine to withstand the fight

True love undaunted, soaring in flight
together forever, stronger as two
and tender whispers still drift in the night

Realizing dreams may ne’re come to light
forever together, now numbered too few
as two souls combine to withstand the fight

Heart to heart, hand in hand, facing their plight
listening to the wind and talking to the stars
tender whispers drift through the night
as two souls combine to withstand the fight.
