Villanelle

To Puabi

Far have I traveled from my home,

Long and many the years I have spent,

Wandering through the lands alone.

Many places and many faces have I seen,

In all the lands that I went;

I never wondered what their looks might mean.

But one face has kept me still so long,

I have come to believe she was heaven-sent;

For I see that face long after night has gone.

And when I awake, then still I see

The face and eyes of my dear Puabi.

Weeping with joy, that she is no more alone,

But together with me in our sweet home.

Simply a villanelle dedicated to dear Puabi. I need to devote more attention to her lately.
