"violet" a Villanelle revised



My hearts all splitting violet.
Angels afar sing sweetly upon.
It's a dream to be with wildness.

Your forever black lace eyelet,
skipping passage as our souls mate.
My hearts all splitting violet.

Smiling while you look so trident.
While I bleed in your splendid ear.
It's a dream to be with wildness.

Pennies from heaven fall silent.
Upon wishing wells kiss and tell.
My hearts all splitting violet.

As stars blend in our somnolence.
Shooting dreams afire as our heart's aflame.
It's a dream to be with wildness.

As with the pink roses of fall,
stormy rain showers fell in full bloom.
My hearts all splitting violet.
It's a dream to be with wildness.
