Vilanelle Poems

A villanelle is a  nineteen line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines.

Idea of You 


 Idea of you, magnet to your fire lure.

 Exquisite mind, body ablaze,

 Spurning the society decree – liaison so pure.
i

 Passion within, dream aspiring to secure,

 Life onward marching, secret shadows slowly gaze,

 Idea of you, magnet to your fire lure. 


 Then impulse a touch ignites, no more demure,

 Desire boiling, dancing in a moonlight craze,

Spurning the society decree - liaison so pure.


Discovering magic, searching souls yet sure. 

Passion growing, risen to charring in our veins,  

 idea of you, magnet to your fire lure. 


 Now lit by fiery embers, spirit scorched a cure,

 Burning heart, striding paths that form a maze,

Spurning the society decree – liaison so pure.
  

 Touching peaks aspired never – ultimate adure.

 Free, satiate, amuse, pain erase,

 Idea of you, magnet to your fire lure.

Spurning the society decree - liaison so pure.
