Another villanelle with my own little gist (which can be found at the end of the poem *down there; down there*)! This one's a sequel to 'Knight in Red'. Why? Because I can!... And because I can't find any inspiration for a villanelle other than this at the moment.
Maiden Blue
Pray tell; what is a man in love to do?
My long-coveted Maiden Blue
I wonder how you cannot see
My heart lusts for no one but you.
•
For knighthood be my sole virtue
I was dispatched to protect thee
My long-coveted Maiden Blue.
•
My eyes meet yours that's soft as dew.
I realized with mirthful glee
My heart lusts for no one but you.
•
But then you leave my soul to rue,
For as I start you turn to flee
My long-coveted Maiden Blue.
•
What is a man in love to do?
Pray tell, are you afraid of me?
My heart lusts for no one but you.
•
Though love may be a tough venue
It'll never bring me to my knees.
My long-coveted Maiden Blue,
My heart lusts for no one but you.
•
So let this futile race ensue.
On a side note, if I had a thousand rupiah for each time my brain successfully convinced me it was Friday this week... Well, then I'd probably be the first rupiah-millionaire with only thousand-rupiah notes in my pile o' cash. But the ones that come in coins would be pretty awesome too, since they'd probably fit my purse better anyway...
Aaand there you have it; my author-note-creating days have officially came to a sardonic end.
- Plumeria-hi
p.s. on yet another side note, long story short: was watching this really old film from my childhood, and realized for the first time since 2008 that an artist (also from my childhood, whose name I only accidentally uncovered this year) made a track out of it. Scoured the Internet for an hour looking for said track... And BAM. One of the best (and probably accidental) Yao cosplay I've ever seen... Well- the first Yao cosplay I've ever seen, actually, but I invite you to check that album cover out for yourself if you're looking to be blown off your chair tonight. If you can guess which movie it's from, that is.
