To kiss your lips does make me sigh
Holding you close is a dream come true
I'll never know how I caught your eye
The love we share shall not go awry
My love, my heart, I'll be there for you
To kiss your lips does make me sigh
A love like this you just cannot buy
With the joy we share will never be blue
I'll never know how I caught your eye
This love so right we don't even try
Every single day I love you anew
To kiss your lips does make me sigh
My soul is yours this I'll never deny
You own all of me, cannot be untrue
I'll never know how I caught your eye
For me there will never be a good-bye
I love you so much if you only knew
To kiss your lips does make me sigh
I'll never know how I caught your eye

ab(A1)
ab(A2)

The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the
poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines).

Fascinating form. I think I will look into it actually, although at the beginning of looking at the rules it really intimidated me and I was dead set against it. But you sold me. This is quite an intriguing form. Thank you for showing me this form. It really is kind of fascinating. This poem is so lovely to read, it makes me feel all tingly inside. It's not a gushy poem, which I thank you for because they make me want to throw up, rather this one really shows your emotions. Thank you for selling this form to me. I'll have to look into it and will probably ask you for help at some time.

Thank you for following the rules. Will comment on the actual poem later.

good job on the villanelle
that form seems so complicated...great rhyming though and yeah, I noticed ... hard to be anonymous when you sign everything to Tory LOL. It's okay ... I give up.

I added this BG today baby, and this poem was written for you. Didn't you read the authors notes? It was written when we first met, it had a different Bg on it that was ugly. I changed one line today entering it into a pre-write contest and spruced it up a bit
Love you ...

This poem is so suger sweet and full off love that I can feel it. I can tell by just your words that the love you two share is something special that only happens once in a lifetime. Do not spoil that.
Thank you for taking the time to enter -
This is a lovely villanelle filled with emotion. I would have liked it better if the lines were not as choppy and had better flow from one to other. Perhaps some punctuation would have aided the reader. Thank you for your entry. Peace, Liz

Villanelles are not easy to do without a forced rhyme here or there. Still, a valiant presentation.
Keep competing; I'd say.

This is a lovely poem. It is so sweet. I wish someone loved me like this. Congrats on your green shiny trophy.

So soft, it's like a sigh in itself! Very nicely crafted and such a delight to read! How often I feel like this with my dear John! You express my inexpressable!

Villanelles are not the easiest form of poetry, that's for sure, but your example is very good!

I can usually just whip out a poem in no time, this took serious thought, made my two brain cells hurt really bad. Took over an hour and made me take aspirin...

damn good
especially for a fist attempt... very sweetly stated!
Awwwwe!
it's a very lovely piece and gives a kind of sweet feeling, kind of subtly seductive in a simple, not complex, not too wordy way!
nicely done, Mr. Junkman!
