An orison for love



My soul's yearning for this divine coalition,
but a hint-less question keeps haunting my mind:
Will she ever accept this invitation?

The stars are waiting in anticipation,
they've never witnessed a bond so refined.
My heart's yearning for this divine coalition.

I beg for some clairvoyance in invocation,
enough of those wild guesses--frantic and blind.
Will she ever accept this invitation?

No this is not at all a conjuration,
but if it ain't her, I'll have my life resigned.
My heart's yearning for this divine coalition.

Living under incessant consternation,
this uncertainty has my heart undermined.
Will she ever accept this invitation?

Lord; our lives have just this one edition,
so blend in our spirits and have them entwined.
My heart's yearning for this divine coalition.
Will she ever accept this invitation?

"Orison" is synonymous with Prayer of Petition, that is to ask God for something. Orison is also synonymous with Supplication

Conjuration versus Invocation(prayer):
Sometimes an invocation mixes a supplication with a commandment in an attempt to obtain a favor from God by commanding Him to do something under a threatening of some bond placed unto him in case the asked favor is not obtained.


This poem is a Villanelle. This form of poetry was established in France in the 16th century and is composed of an uneven number (usually five) of tercets rhyming aba, with a final quatrain rhyming abaa. In this French fixed form, the first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately as the third lines of the succeeding tercets, and together as the final couplet of the quatrain. Representing these repeated lines in capitals, with the second of them given in italic, the rhyme scheme may be displayed thus:

AbA abA abA abA abA abAA
