Unrequited LoveA Poem by Sharon Miller BolanderPlease write a VILLANELLE! six stanzas: first five stanzas are three lines long, final stanza is four lines aba rhyme scheme except for last stanza's slight variationHis passionate kiss, her deep desire--- One glimpse of him Set her heart on fire. Promises from the tongue of a liar Empty words from a heart grown cold His passionate kiss, her deep desire Must not grabble or be a crier Even when his touch Set her heart on fire Her feelings would not be for hire; He dare not take what she must not give. His passionate kiss, her deep desire Love's a mess; life's a mire. Why must thoughts of him Set her heart on fire? His mouth met hers in one last kiss, But poison flowed from his cheating lips. No passionate kiss, no deep desire--- As he did no longer set her heart on fire © 2016 Sharon Miller Bolander |
