I Just Want To Love You (Terzanelle)

forevermore

They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
I don't have the right to fall into you
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear

And all I know is to love, I really do
We have differences, there's a gap between us
I don't have the right to fall into you

I know they would say, it wouldn't last
And all they see is trouble in this connection
We have differences, there's a gap between us

I know what they see is our imperfection
Though they criticize how I feel for you
And all they see is trouble in this connection

Please don't hear what they say, please don't go
No matter what happens, I am still the one
Though they criticize how I feel for you

I just want to love you the best that I can
They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
No matter what happens, I am still the one
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear.

Author's Note

Terzanelle

The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain. The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets is as follows:
1. A
2. B
3. A

4. b
5. C
6. B

7. c
8. D
9. C

10. d
11. E
12. D

13. e
14. F
15. E

Ending Type 1:

16. f
17. A
18. F
19. A

Ending Type 2:

16. f
17. F
18. A

Each line of the poem should be the same metrical length.

Good use of thoughts and I like the message in the poem.
"They say it's foolish to love you, my dear
No matter what happens, I am still the one
I am sure this time, in my heart it is clear"
Kind and good words for the want of love. I like them. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome dear friend.

Wow, that is a complicated type of poetry, but as usual, you show mastery over it. Very nicely done.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nicely done form-wise...but i am always more concerned with theme and content...i really like what this says to me---others see differences as a bad thing, i see differences as opposites attract...
if people are too much alike, too perfect for each other, it usually ends up not working at all...
love works through differences if it is strong enough.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thank you, sir. Oftentimes, when people do not like the person you love, they will say you are not compatible for each other. When you don't listen to them, they will tell you are stubborn. lol

I agree that love works through differences.
