Eternal
moon knows nothing new
she hears each wish and feels each sigh
and she brings me back to you
she hears each wish and feels each sigh
and she brings me back to you
She
summons a breeze upon her cue
to
carry my kiss when your life goes awry
eternal
moon knows nothing new
She
knows our past, our future too
(she chuckled when we thought it goodbye)
and she brings me back to you
(she chuckled when we thought it goodbye)
and she brings me back to you
When
you walk in doubt, she shines true
of a hold we cannot untie
eternal moon knows nothing new
of a hold we cannot untie
eternal moon knows nothing new
Bathe
in her light, allow love to renew
the mists of time do not apply
and she brings me back to you
the mists of time do not apply
and she brings me back to you
Ever
present, she follows through
symbol of my love, for you to view
eternal moon knows nothing new
and she brings me back to you.
symbol of my love, for you to view
eternal moon knows nothing new
and she brings me back to you.

ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating! You take poetic forms and use them for their intended purpose to write beautiful poetry! The moon knows nothing new, but she always knows love! I LOVE this!!
The moon always knows love. *sighs* I love that. Thanks Blue Dude :)
DeleteI haven't written a Villanelle in years. It was a challenge, but a welcome one.
When it comes to matters of the heart, I defer to you.
ReplyDeleteUsually I get into trouble when I defer to my heart. It can't help wanting what it wants. It's impossible that way ;)
DeleteNot impossible, just... well, let me think on that.
DeleteSometimes what it wants is impossible, even when told so. Still, it cannot help but to want anyway ;)
DeleteThe moon does know all. Loved how you brought this to life. Deep sigh :) so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I've long had a fascination with the moon. She is one of my greatest inspirations ;)
DeleteWell well another telling Moon. Your words always sweep us up and carry us away Dahlia!! xo ~ Christine aka Sleeping Queen!
