Dying Breath

I occasionally experiment in more structured forms of poetry, just to make sure I'm really learning something while I'm doing all of this. "Dying Breath" (the title is very explanatory of it's meaning) is my loose attempt at a Villanelle.

I Have Known-

I always considered "I Have Known" and "She Stands" my 'sister poems.' I wrote them both in the same night, they have the same rhythm and flow, and I believe they were conceived from the same inspiration. This is the older sister.

She Stands

I always considered "I Have Known" and "She Stands" my 'sister poems.' I wrote them both in the same night, they have the same rhythm and flow, and I believe they were conceived from the same inspiration. Here is the baby sister.

how many loves?

I think we all want to know, is there just one true love out there in the world for each of us, that by some miraculous twist of fate we are meant to meet, or are we meant to have a few loves in our lives? How many loves do we have?

Until-

A short and sweet poem for a never-ending love.
