If someone will ask me how beautiful love is...
Standing firmly, before a crowd and God above,
I will lean on your shoulder and tell them, "like this!"
Gone are those days drowned of doubts and uncertainties
I'll not fail to answer this covenant dreamed of
If someone will ask me how beautiful love is...
I'm not threatened, I'm free of insecurities
With you, it's like flying on the wings of a dove
I will lean on your shoulder and tell them, "like this!"
To savor your scent, I will swim your deepest seas
In proclaiming this love from far edge of the globe
If someone will ask me how beautiful love is...
Illusions of visions in multi-colored streams
My eyes can't disguise, I will shout the world this love
I will lean on your shoulder and tell them, "like this!"
Mending spaces in between, I'll hold onto dreams
Imagining you're near...in these poems I wove
If someone will ask me how beautiful love is...
I will lean on your shoulder and tell them, "like this!"

*This villanelle was structured in hexameter (6 iambic feet)
The villanelle contains 19 lines divided into 5 tercets and a final quatrain.
Lines 1 and 3 are refrains;
line 1 is repeated as lines 6, 12 and 18;
line 3 is repeated as lines 9, 15 and 19.
Originally the syllabic lines (iambic feet) could be of any certain length.
iambic feet is consist of 2 syllables, one stressed and one unstressed.
Now lines of 4 (tetrameter) or 5 (pentameter) iambic feet predominate, but others are possible, like what I did in this poem of 6 (hexameter) iambic feet (equals 12 syllables per line verse metre)
The entire poem is built on repetition of just 2 sets of rhymes:
