Love like this

A villanelle about love because I am the most hopeless romantic out there :)

A life of bliss

For me is spent to dust

In a love like this.

Wrapped in fits

Of warmth and trust,

A life of bliss.

Only in the abyss,

In the depths of wanderlust,

Is a love like this.

The future I reminisce

And piece together with stardust.

A life of bliss

With one I cannot yet miss

But for whom I house a lust

For a love like this.

A love that I cannot resist.

A life of a mere wind gust.

A life of bliss.

A love like this.

Detangle the mass of stiff

Wire strangling my thoughts.

The Potential Thoughts of Hamlet #4

A villanelle of the potential thoughts of Hamlet, regarding Ophelia.

I would have loved you through all the rainfall,

Protected you from the waterscape,

Because I loved you, flaws and all.

It was him that treated you like a doll.

And it was him behind the drape.

I would have loved you through all the rainfall.

We were killed by my own call

For I could not help but hesitate,

Because I loved you, flaws and all.

They all thought you were my downfall,

But you were my perfect dreamscape.

I would have loved you through all the rainfall.

It was only myself I meant to enthral

But I am a hero without a cape

Because I loved you, flaws and all.

My madness was a waterfall

That you could not escape.

I would have loved you through all the rainfall.

Because I loved you, flaws and all.
