Love, Untimely
Surrendered
But, for love be not contrite
Dare I, to do it all again
Be the Icarus in your sunlight
*
Your warm embrace I find delight
pain for joy is worth the strain
But, for your love be not contrite
*
Carried from the darkest night
in gentle arms, falling like rain
Be the Icarus in your sunlight
*
But, for your love be not contrite
a thousand times to try again
Be the Icarus in your sunlight
*
Fate smiled as you were brought to light
my soul to never be the same
But for love be not contrite
*
This damsel's bright and shining knight
arrayed by dawns most radiant beam
But for love be not contrite
Be the Icarus in your sunlight

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Simply beautiful. Well done.
Excellent work 🥰
“Be the Icarus in your sunlight” had me completely hooked. Gorgeous poem!!
"Be the Icarus, in your sunlight" That was so clever and my favourite line! Loved your Villanelle!
KSA - you vary the rhyme scheme a lot here. Is your punctuation doing what you want it to? (I do very much like the Icarus image - a very cool metaphor!) wardo
