Velvet letters of the night smell tangy

Like a flower, passion is blossoming

Parisian strings ever so bangy

*

Velvet letters of the night sound bangy

Sunday morals ever so decaying

Velvet letters of the night smell tangy

*

Velvet letters of the night feel clangy

Those red flags look less and less promising

Parisian strings ever so bangy

*

Velvet letters of the night taste twangy

All the places we can go travelling

Velvet letters of the night smell tangy

*

The outdoor picnic, zesty and tangy

Lipstick adventures I shall be dreaming

Parisian strings ever so bangy

*

Italian feasts beautifully twangy

The promises I must be fulfilling

Velvet letters of the night smell tangy

Parisian strings ever so bangy

Villanelle
