VILLANELLE

The sun sets on another day
Pale moon hanging low
Black skies arise, throw light away

The shadows now hold truth at bay
Cold winds begin to blow
The sun sets on another day

None remain of the sun’s bright rays
Dark trees feel the cold of snow
Black skies arise, throw light away

The Earth feels like a lonely cay
Wrapped up in a big, black bow
The sun sets on another day

The night rips sanity into dark fray
Casting hope into fiery inferno
Black skies arise, throw light away

All love is lost, nothing left to say
Give in to hate and let it flow
The sun sets on another day
Black skies arise, throw light away
