Tag: villanelle

Dare we admit that time will ne’er be right?

Dare we admit that time will ne’er be right?
‘Tis 2 AM; we’re far from ending night.

villanelle

I know not where to look or stand

I know not where to look or stand…
I reach for footing; find just sand.

villanelle

The Hour is Late

Unopened doors in neverending halls / I know I have the choice to alter clime

choices, ennui, villanelle

A peaceful path perchance yet stranger

The road from here is rocky danger /
And when we reach the end – who knows? / A peaceful path perchance yet stranger

control, difficult, easy, fate, villanelle

Why seek to steer what moves beyond control?

The merits of mere stasis we extol / As if the middle ground’s a magic tool / Why seek to steer what moves beyond control? / We try to hold it still, then watch it roll…

control, futility, villanelle

I come to warmth from cold which reigned supreme

Now hoarfrost melts to liquid dew agleam

thaw, villanelle

I’ve checked the flights from here to there

I’ve checked the flights from here to there, / And there to here, of course (of course!) / I’m sighing, and my Soul’s laid bare.

villanelle

the wedding lamp

No more does night descend with dread. Who knew you’d light a lamp when asked? I fall into your arms widespread; ‘Tis time to see my head and heart be wed.

authenticity, trust, villanelle, wholeness
