This reads very ...Shakespearean-like, Susan.
I'm not talking about a sonnet or any specific form of poetic expression, but more about the eloquence and the language you've used.
It's lovely...

A very well-written love poem. Dancing in the moonlight is a great recipe for romance for a long time without stop until the next morning. Loving couples will do all they can to be together.

A villanelle for lovers. This is very well done indeed. They are not easy things to write by any means. In my book, "Flat Packed Poetry" I wrote the following in the note to my Villanelle "To Write a Villanelle".

"The villanelle is not my favourite poetic form. The exigencies of the form tend to dominate the poem's content and it is difficult to make them flow naturally."

Difficult it may be but your repeats did not begin to make their presence felt in this way until nearly at the end of the poem, so you must have achieved what you set out to do rather well.

It is a lovelt poem. Well done.

A lovely, romantic, sensual love poem. The rhythm and rhyme are well written. The sentiment, the words chosen create lovely, graceful images.

The repeated line "'twas serendipity that fateful night." made me wonder if this was a form poem, but I see no mention so guessing it's your creative gesture and not form based. It's effective in drawing the reader back again and again to the fate of the night, the fate of love and romance.

Well done.

    Ah! Yes. It's been a while (years!) since I wrote a villanelle. Something twigged in the back of my head, that this is a form I should know. ha! :) Beautifully done!

Out of sixes, and what a shame, for this is so lovely! I love the artwork too, which should dance forever with your beautiful words. Is this a Villanelle? Just beautiful!!! Blessings...

This is a wonderful poem about the power and surprise of love. These two never expected it to happen but it did.

Nicely done villanelle.

Keep writing

No more love less state of living, now love harnessed, two souls now dance cradled beneath moonlight, the glory and grace of love unified under the romantic light for ecstasy.

True bonded dovetails under heaven's sight ...
gone, empty yesterdays; now, living starts.
'Twas serendipity that fateful night;
love harnessed, two souls cradled 'neath moonlight.

Such a beautiful poem and this verse was my favorite. I didn't find any nits or errors. I really enjoyed reading it. Hope to read more of your work soon!

I love your love poem! My favorite metaphor is "joy's kaleidoscope "; in fact, I love that whole stanza. You have strong imagery that captures the mind. Well done.
