In His Eyes I Gazed ~ and Drowned

Composed in Villanelle form

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) ;) :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well, I didn't know someone could cry over this but probably allowable 😉
Thank you so much for this awesome review, Tina! I feel I don't deserve such praise..
Oh and did I mention I'm jealous of your story writing skills? 😛 so we're even hahah 😂
Thanks again 😊😊😊😊

What a wondrous poem, and what a beautiful form. I've never attempted a Villanelle, but how the words seem to flow from you so effortlessly! There is a music to this rhythm, and your song of adoration is pure joy. Brilliant! :)
