My Wife's Villanelle to Me (Scorpio)
I warned you that I could not be contained,
You asked if I could play the tambourine,
I only play the git-tar I explained.
You asked me if I thought your band half-brained,
I told you there were worse ones I had seen,
I warned you that I could not be contained.
I ripped my chords with forearms deeply veined,
If you had tried you would have torn your spleen,
My fingers are a firebox I explained.
I could have blown you up but I refrained,
I showed my mastery on every screen,
I warned you that I could not be contained.
You asked if my regard for you remained,
If partnership for us was evergreen,
I said we'll never die as I've explained.
Clear memories of our meeting I've retained,
You'd just turned thirty I was still a teen,
I'm not Miss Tambourine Girl I explained,
I warned you that I could not be contained.
