Villanelle

Beneath the Midnight Veil
I see her eyes in every midnight flame, A vision carved upon my weary mind No passing year can still the dreadful claim. The walls resound when I repeat her name

Rabid Yonder
Swarming, surging, desperate into the rabid yonder Sea and sky kaleidoscopically mingled; no barrier between air or water Down a beckoning trail of rainbow bubbles, I wander

The Echo That Refuses to Fade
I walk the corridors where silence stays, Your shadow lingers, though the years decay, The echo of your voice will never fade.

The Letdown
Glances from you make me swoon I didn’t understand at first I thought I’d be immune ~ I was sweating like a monsoon I thought my heart would burst

This is about Me
It was always all about me You thought you could win But you could not see ~ I thought eventually we’d agree You’d flash me your grin

The day I ignored the urging of my soul
I broke my own heart, I broke my own laws Now I fixate on the one mistake I can never unmake: When I passed you up, my life came to a pause

The Shadowed Hearth
The night returns yet you are never near I wander halls where silence chills the bone This lingering grief shall haunt me year by year

Memories in the Soil
Memories are embedded into the soil They stay with us always in the earth Needing of water, but drinks oil Regrets within can cause turmoil

First Love’s
That’s when you told me that you loved me too It’s a little too late to change your mind To return to the soil that first held you
