Dove

A “Villanelle” Touch the Light


In darkness I knew I could touch the light
 

Kissing the moon with my passionate lips

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

Eternity was where darkness would fight 

Watching star dust forever away slip

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 

Eternity felt so safe way out of sight

like an angel in heaven’s bliss

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

The darkness where we held each other tight

Embracing reality with a silver moon kiss 

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 

Then I remembered aging was a fright

to  mortal death I refused to enlist 

Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight

 

 A mumbling ghost haunting the night

Into eternity my soul had finally slipped 

In darkness I knew I could touch the light

 Floating on the stars on a heavenly flight
