In His Eyes I Gazed ~ and Drowned...

'Pon a voice heard, I turned to merry sound,
like tingling waves caressing 'gainst my shore.
In his eyes I gazed ~ and right away drowned!

So lost before, I wanted to be found;
to feel his touch within my very core;
'pon a voice heard, I turned to merry sound.

Whispers in the wind, swept me off the ground;
and when I looked down, no fear anymore;
in his eyes I gazed ~ and right away drowned!

Towards his melody; then I was bound.
Higher and higher I let my heart soar.
'Pon a voice heard, I turned to merry sound,

Oh, what sweet dreams, just to have him around!
To fulfill those delights of moments before.
In his eyes I gazed ~ and right away drowned!

With his soft music, my heart he'll surround,
as there's no one more than him I adore!
'Pon a voice heard, I turned to merry sound.
In his eyes I gazed ~ and right away drowned!

Wow....is it permitted for me to cry? For this doth truly make me weep! It's gorgeous, Yumna. It's happy, emotional and so true. We've all felt these feeling at some point. Anyone who reads this and doesn't feel their heart heat is surely bereft of a soul.
I loved it! (I'm also a little jealous of your skill with words) ;) :)

Thank you, Tamara. Truly appreciate your words here :)
A heartfelt write that shares dreams and a chained heart. Much emotion to share a tale of longing and a spent soul. Your words let us relive a time in our own lives when we were "all in" in giving our heart to another. Thank you for your honest write.

Thank you for your thoughts on this piece and for liking, Richieb. Truly appreciate it 😊
I'm not a big fan of repeating lines just for the sake of poetic form, so I usually don't like villanelles. In this case, however, your repeated lines do not draw attention & feel like a natural flow of the storyline, so the repetition is not distracting like so many villanelles can be. I love the title which is imaginative & fits well into the repeated lines. Good job with this form!

Forms can be difficult as they can be so rigid in structure that the content suffers. However, your content is lovely, the form is wonderful and the flow of your words are divine. You nailed this one. Beautiful writing! :) Julie
