LOVE ENDURES
For The Villanelle Challenge
Entwined commitment so dear
talking nose to nose.
Whispered endearment in ear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Love blooms secure and sincere.
Like a brilliant red rose
love does not domineer.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Entwined commitment so dear
that hearts and minds compose.
Love commitment improves each year.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Love blooms secure and sincere.
Long-lasting love always knows,
celebrated love with cheers.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Entwined commitment so dear.
Sweet romantic conduct grows
It's unquestionable and clear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Love endures whether far or near.
Lasting love swells and glows.
Commitment, romantic, and dear
love endures each year.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Author's notes: While I have written numerous Shakespearean sonnets, this is my first Villanelle poem. Thank you for reading. Would love your comments.
Mahalo!

For the Love of Samosas
Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.
