In the Maestro’s Shadow

A Villanelle Of Success Comes With Cost

A passionate woman, don’t you agree?

I am the maestro orchestrating her career

There will be hell to pay if she turns on me

Graceful and seductive to the tee

Fire and ice on every twirl appears

A passionate woman, don’t you agree?

A gutter rat dancing for the men of the sea

Celestial fates had guided me to that chilling pier

There will be hell to pay if she turns on me

Visions of entwining bodies in motion with she

Embers of harmonies’ movements so premier

A passionate woman, don’t you agree?

Inspiration struck me with a greedy decree

Success and stardom were a guarantee

There will be hell to pay if she turns on me

Alas, nothing is ever free

My tender care for her is not so sincere

A passionate woman, don’t you agree?

There will be hell to pay if she turns on me
