Untitled-(Villanelle)

Azura Nightsong

 

If only, if only the lone wolf cries
If evil was not a trait
I wish for freedom, just to fly

If one was destined not to die
To rewrite the woven knots of fate
If only, if only the lone wolf cries

To succeed I must first try
Or to not when thought it to be too late
I wish for freedom, just to fly

There are some things you cannot buy
The truth we all dislike to state
If only, if only the lone wolf cries

Conquest never end with tie
There's no way to dissolve all hate
I wish for freedom, just to fly

We cannot help but question why
The things we wish we could create
If only, if only the lone wolf cries
I wish for freedom, just to fly.

    We all wish for the world to be a better place. This is a terrific poem. And thanks for introducing the Villanelle. I never studied the art of poetry. I am glad you explained.

    I really enjoyed reading this, and it tells a message which remains still true every day, despite how much time goes by, because there is so much negativity in our world. I would really like to see more of your work xx
