Astounded | Villanelle
by Sam Harty
So here it is my first ever Villanelle. Hopefully, it's acceptable. Thank goes to eHow on YouTube and also added wisdom from Mike Singleton aka "🌟 Mikeydred 🌟" who wrote a great post on how to write a Villanelle. So without further adieu:
________________________
Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded
I look at you and I can't breathe
Loving you has me astounded
..
You calm me and keep me grounded
Although sometimes words are hard to achieve
Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded
..
I thank God for the day that I found it
Words from you give my soul reprieve
Loving you has me astounded
..
My love for you keeps me abounded
Even when my words are hard to retrieve
Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded
..
To lose you now would have me confounded
I pray to God you never leave
Loving you has me astounded
..
Your name upon my tongue always resounded
Your love for me a gospel I believe
Your beauty blinds me and I'm surrounded
Loving you has me astounded
