Poetry: Villanelles

First Kiss (A Villanelle)

There is a ringing in my ears.
our sweet love, this first kiss,
I'm overwhelmed with fear.

My pounding heart is all I hear
before the moment of our bliss.
There is a ringing in my ears.

I tremble as you draw me near,
turn my face away in remiss.
I'm overwhelmed with fear.

I feel your breath against my ear
and my insides start to twist.
There is a ringing in my ears.

And then you call me dear,
thinking how could I resist?
I'm overwhelmed with fear.

I want to think that you're sincere
when you hold onto my wrist
there is a ringing in my ears.
I'm overwhelmed with fear.
