She Dazzles Me with Sepia Tones of Light

She dazzles me with sepia tones of light
and lets me touch her earthenware brassiere.
The pounding of my blood distorts my sight.

I hesitate, knowing that I must fight
to whisper silver passion in her ear,
but I am dazzled by her sepia light.

She freely shares her warmth when snow falls white.
She offers all, but seeing her shed tears
can freeze my blood and still distort my sight.

Her earthy glance, her eyes, can down my flight
and bury me in worldly cares' veneer
were I not dazzled by her sepia light.

She hears my soulful song and holds me tight
and preens my wounded id and drowns my fear.
The pounding of my blood distorts my sight.

Her earth and body win my lust. I bite
her flesh and drink her in and hold her near,
and still she dazzles me with sepia light.
She stills my blood to give me earthly sight.
I FREAKING HATE DA's TITLE SPACE ALOTMENT!!</rant>

I've been wanting to write a villanelle ever since I started writing. I hope this does justice to the romantic French form. Preview is da Vinci's "La Scapagliata."

*EDIT*
I've made some of the changes suggestsed by friends and others from the *Writers-Workshop.

*EDIT AGAIN, striving toward removing archaic usages and not being so bound up by iambic pentameter.
