Passion's Song (a villanelle)

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Love's labors passion's song sustain Notes both clear and charmingly sweet The clarity enhances the refrain Music that warms my heart's depths again You lay in supplication at my feet Love's labors passion's song sustain In emotion's grasp my tears like rain The sweet notes with moisture greet The clarity enhances the refrain With fumbling embrace I seek to maintain The chords where our two verses meet Love's labors passion's song sustain Harmonious we merge in twain Our chorus tunefully repeat The clarity enhances the refrain And thus we sing the last quatrain Our souls writhing with one heartbeat Love's labors passion's song sustain The clarity enhances the refrain 11-10-2001Written as a challenge submission to Buzby's request for a villanelle.
