‘Tis you, my love, who are my fate

You fill my heart and make me smile

My kindred spirit, my soul mate

Of you I dream, For you I wait

Each moment with you, so worthwhile

‘Tis you, my love, who are my fate

We talk each night until it’s late

Sharing truth, heart, self and trial

My kindred spirit, my soul mate

Heartfelt poetry we create

The language of love our writing style

‘Tis you, my love, who are my fate

I love you heaps, I dare not wait

To tell you this once in a while

My kindred spirit, my soul mate

Treasured moments, just you and Kate

The moon and stars, an ocean mile

‘Tis you, my love, who are my fate

My kindred spirit, my soul mate

Wonderful and should we all be so lucky to have a kindred and a soul mate!

Good morning Kate! Or actually, for you it's... a little after midnight? Have I got that right?

Which means, if I read this poem right, you are about to snuggle up to someone. I sure hope so. I'd hate for all this love to go to waste, for a single night.

Lovely, musical. Yeah, and as DB says, I hope for both of your sakes this is a prelude.

Sweet Kate. I understand these feelings and you know all that I hope for you. There will be a time and a place...because there must. Your beautiful heart deserves this joy.

The discovery of a soul mate is life's ultimate treasure. If you have found such, you have found gold. Well written and you sense a bit of love and comfort so naturally here. R

Villanelles are damn hard to write. You've done a wonderful job here. The villanelle form fits your subject matter and your tone perfectly.

August 07, 2010 11:39 PM

Thank you all for your wonderful and very, very kind comments.

To find a kindred spirit and soul mate in life is one of the most joyous and remarkable gifts in life. As Sheila said, it's like finding gold except I think it is even more precious than that!
