A Villanelle too: “Marriage”
~{}~
So quiet are you now,
and words have all been said.
We should have gone to bed,
but we donβt know just how.
Much talk there was, when we just met –
So quiet are you now,
as if we had Β a row.
The books have all been read;
We should have gone to bed
(remembering my vow ).
Not cold, but silence do I dread
“So, quiet are you now?”
“My mind is numb, so that is how.”
“Was it something then I said?”
We should have gone to bed…
You smile and kiss me on the head:
“So well I know you,Β long as we’ve been wed!
So quiet are you now.
We should have gone to bed!”
