FGC #26 Tantalising Fixtation



Tantalising contented fixation
we hunger for that sacred precious state
captivated by its sweet caress and salvation

lips moist with anticipation
soft sensual succulent hunger consummate
Tantalising contented fixation

Dark guilt and innocent flirtation
despised, feared adored and delicate
captivated by its sweet caress and salvation

useless to beg for its cessation
this smothered spiritual liquid paradise
Tantalising contented fixation

angel whispers, demon temptation
exotic sacred and decadent
captivated by its sweet caress and salvation

bounty in anyone’s translation
aromatic soothing indulgent chocolate
Tantalising contented fixation
captivated by its sweet caress and salvation

This was written in response to Write Anything's Form and Genre Challenge ,  FGC #2Villanelle Poem Challenge.

I have to admit, I'd never heard of this style of poem before  I did quite a bit of research first about the structure - but basically ( from a great poetry website Kazoom)


The villanelle has 19 lines, 5 stanzas of three lines and 1 stanza of four lines with two rhymes and two refrains. The 1st, then the 3rd lines alternate as the last lines of stanzas 2,3,and 4, and then stanza 5 (the end) as a couplet



The advice many places gave was to choose a subject or topic area that you are obsessed with... and well.. Chocolate is high on my list.
