In the Maestro’s Shadow
A Villanelle Of Success Comes With Cost
A passionate woman, don’t you agree?
I am the maestro orchestrating her career
There will be hell to pay if she turns on me
Graceful and seductive to the tee
Fire and ice on every twirl appears
A passionate woman, don’t you agree?
A gutter rat dancing for the men of the sea
Celestial fates had guided me to that chilling pier
There will be hell to pay if she turns on me
Visions of entwining bodies in motion with she
Embers of harmonies’ movements so premier
A passionate woman, don’t you agree?
Inspiration struck me with a greedy decree
Success and stardom were a guarantee
There will be hell to pay if she turns on me
Alas, nothing is ever free
My tender care for her is not so sincere
A passionate woman, don’t you agree?
There will be hell to pay if she turns on me

And yet if she is passionate, turn she must if she is to become all she hopes to be.
It took passion to write this portrayal of a woman.
I love the portrayal of a courageous woman in this poem 🥰
