Love adds at times a poison in it's price thus weakened we are easily possessed so oft' described as virtue, it's a vice It's fragrant scents allure us with sweet spice the subtle air of pleasure it suggests, Love adds at times a poison in it's price Babbeled couplings such as "awful nice" bamboozle ears through soothing tones caressed, so oft' described as virtue, it's a vice And blinking eyes short cut brain's thinking twice tunneled vision we pant in lust undressed, Love adds at times a poison in it's price We sow our oats and reap fool's paradise and gourge on trust whose tapeworm we ingest, so oft' descibed as virtue, it's a vice But once we feel it's soft warm merchandise it's there addiction seals the deal, obsessed, Love adds at times a poison in it's price, so oft' described as virtue, it's a vice "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

You're absolutely right, but once addicted, what can a body do? I love your poem. I love to read villanelles, and writing them is tough. Very well done. Nan |

Wow..when you come back, you really make it worth our while, Sir. Amazed by this I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |

  (smiles) Oh Richard, this is excellent, sweet friend, yes, love is indeed an addiction and a poison part of the time but when we get to understand it and have that tourniquet of hope to stay firm to its beauty, it can be such a beautiful thing! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

You make reading a villanelle pleasant, and I know they are difficult to create...you make it seem worthwhile... |
