My newest adventure is underway. It has lead me to take up residency in a new blog,
Like the Feathers of an Arrow (affectionately known as LFA).

0 Villanelle...attempt two and three

i toyed a bit more...though i don't think i've improved much...



Believe

I could make all my dreams come true
and every wish my heart holds dear
if I would just believe in you

It should be so easy to do
if I just release all the fear
I could make all my dreams come true

Somewhere in my heart there's a clue
I should but hope to see it clear
if I would just believe in you

But for me this is all so new
and yet should I let go a tear
I could make all my dreams come true

I need to open my arms, too
pull you to me and hold you near
if I would just believe in you

Don't you know that with just a few
simple words whispered in my ear
You could make all my dreams come true
if I just believed in me, too



Pledge

With her hand in his, their pledge is made
deep in their hearts, they feel it is right
this promise of love that shall not fade

For this evening she has dreamed and prayed
to find a love so dear, she'll hold on tight
with her hand in his, their pledge is made

To see him, she's no longer afraid
with his gaze on hers, she cannot fight
this promise of love that shall not fade

As he stands there and waits--his nerves frayed
she moves to him, a vision in white
with her hand in his, their pledge is made

With such sweet simple words he has laid
his heart bare, what a beautiful sight
this promise of love that shall not fade

This moment in time, they will not trade
full of love, they dance away the night
with her hand in his, their pledge is made
a promise of love that shall not fade



Does not count toward required three minimum.
