Hearts and Sighs - a villanelle
Love is not held together by hearts and sighs
Selfless observances are the pulsating beat
The mind and lips are the ones to immortalize

The subtle romance in patient compromise
The durable constancy of devotion replete
Love is not held together by hearts and sighs

Crushed between glacial lows and fiery highs
Feverish interludes of passion will never compete...
