Astounded | Villanelle

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

So here it is my first ever Villanelle. Hopefully, it's acceptable. Thank goes to eHow on YouTube and also added wisdom from Mike Singleton aka "🌟 Mikeydred 🌟" who wrote a great post on how to write a Villanelle. So without further adieu:

________________________

Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded

I look at you and I can't breathe

Loving you has me astounded

..

You calm me and keep me grounded

Although sometimes words are hard to achieve

Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded

..

I thank God for the day that I found it

Words from you give my soul reprieve

Loving you has me astounded

..

My love for you keeps me abounded

Even when my words are hard to retrieve

Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded

..

To lose you now would have me confounded

I pray to God you never leave

Loving you has me astounded

..

Your name upon my tongue always resounded

Your love for me a gospel I believe

Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded

Loving you has me astounded
