A Stellar Ballet

Time's not sleeping but forever creeping Breathe to live while the blood is hot; in shadow dreams lies incessant weeping. Heart beats like the clock, never sleeping love burns with flames during a nightly walk; Time's not sleeping but forever creeping. A moon rising high in this twilight fleeting with a teary haze, while the clock tic tocks; in shadow dreams lies incessant weeping. Love kind and true, now absent and fleeting, the full moon exhales within a lunar clock; Time's not sleeping but forever creeping. Unto a midnight waltz, as feelings seeping in the stellar ballet stars twinkle in shock; in shadow dreams lies incessant weeping. Starved as your ego continues shrieking devouring hearts within a devious stalk. Time's not sleeping but forever creeping in shadow dreams lies incessant weeping. 1/30/2021 All Yours (Jan 30) Poetry Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand

This is a wonderful Villanelle, Ken. Shadow dreams give cause for weeping. The 3rd tercet is my favorite, and your quatrain ties everything together for a fitting closing. Well done!

Thank you so very much for enjoying my Villanelle. This was a regular rhyming poem that I completely reworked into the piece you read. I truly appreciate the support!
