Through years of scribbled valentines
I strove
and agonized, and now I’ve placed the stele
to scrive a villanelle about my love.

Alas, my love, and dost thou me
reprove
(your doughty fisherman with drooping creel)
to pose this query deep—What rhymes with Love?

As relentless as Psyche's ants I'll prove
and into your affections softy steal
by singing a villanelle about my love.

Then we’ll give thanks unto the gods above,
who in our dalliance make themselves real
and help us know the words that rhyme with Love.

And what a never-tasted nectar trove,
when we had lingered at the chastest meal!
I could write my villanelle about my love
when I realized that all words mean My Love.
