A “Villanelle” Touch the Light

Dove


In darkness I knew I could touch the light 

Kissing the moon with my passionate lips

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

Eternity was where darkness would fight 

Watching star dust forever away slip

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 

Eternity felt so safe way out of sight

like an angel in heaven’s bliss

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

The darkness where we held each other tight

Embracing reality with a silver moon kiss 

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 

Then I remembered aging was a fright

to  mortal death I refused to enlist 

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

 A mumbling ghost haunting the night

Into eternity my soul had finally slipped 

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

          HOLA ROMANTICA ~ Gracias por esta Poema muy classica ! VILLANELLES are an excellent Poetic Form with lots of Repetition and only two Rhyming words (choose carefully !) in this case LIGHT & LIPS. The Rhyme pattern - and number of lines (19 ~ 5 triplets & a quatrain) is always the same. It is an excellent form for a Romantic or Spiritual Ode ~ because of the Repetition. In your case:

          In darkness I knew i could touch the light
          Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

          Very romantic. Brian & I loved this Poem ~ thanks for Sharing !
          Your Poem sounds like *A Spiritual Translation* like ENOCH
          getting to Heaven without Physical Death ~ AWESOME !

          Blessings & Peace & Joy to You & Yours
          Con Amor Angela - Brian y El Gato Ahumado ! ! !

            • Dove

              Oh on Venus and Mars
              things would surely get steamy
              Tis better to hop along a star
