The Moon Stone Ring
For My Muse
Introduction
A magical villanelle inspired by conversations with my Muse.
The music is "The Whole of The Moon" by The Waterboys. I particularly love the opening verse:
"I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon"
Written by Mike Scott, itβs a love song of sorts to somebody exceptionally talented, who seems to excel in everything they try. The subject of the song has been hotly debated, but the official line is that the subject is a composite of several people.
The whole song shows the personβs admiration for his love, which he sees as perfect and true. His constant allusions to divinity or fantasy praise the lover in a symbolic way, portraying her as divine, almost unable to be with a mortal like him. A true masterpiece.

This makes me think of a favorite songs from my youth, "Marianne", but with a positive hopeful outlook.
Nicely done, Mike. I still haven't gotten around to trying one yet, but it is on my list.
Oh, so lovely, Mike <3
This is a poem that is beyond a mere comment of good job for it is a poem that describes many relationships in many ways. Wonderful!
Oh wow so elegant and expressive! Has got to be in a new book. Perhaps the cover poem such as girl with sun and moon.
Your villanelles always have an ethereal quality. Mike. Very well done.
Nicely done!
