A Lifetime, Unlimited
Touched With Your Fingerprints
pausing to capture a moment in time
smiling for the camera, secrets inside a letter
never knowing which, last sunset, is mine
*
meeting that someone, love truly is blind
moments spent, somehow making you better
pausing to capture a moment in time
**
losing that something you thought you’d never find
clinging to the treasure of your moments together
never knowing which, last sunset, is mine
***
those cherished memories, with your hand in mine
discovering that sadly, nothing lasts forever
pausing to capture a moment in time
****
love, life and sorrow intimately intertwined
with so many things left to remember
never knowing which, last sunset, is mine
*****
pretending in the end, everything is alright
because of you, my life was a treasure
pausing to capture a moment in time
never knowing which, last sunset, is mine

Kelli - I read your villanelle several times - do you think you will get credit for how many times I read it. Actually, I was learning how to write a villanelle poem. I could recite it word for word as many times as I read it. Nicely Done!!
The emotional layering here is stunning. Love, loss, memory and acceptance all woven together so gracefully.
When one knows that they have found The One and learning to deal that it will end one day. Good job.
Very nice, Kelli
