Cascade

Memories of him from her eyes cascade her mind now implodes in the midst of night her desire for love has begun to fade Warning signs had burned as candles so bright his choices her impotent to dissuade memories of him from her eyes cascade No words or apology he took flight forever mocked by cruel masquerade her desire for love has begun to fade How dare he not know guilt or feel contrite her heart lies in tatters her spirit frayed memories of him from her eyes cascade Dust is now settling on her shining knight lost in her own world her life disarrayed her desire for love has begun to fade One day her love of life will reignite her own wants will force her out of the shade memories of him from her eyes cascade her desire for love has begun to fade

So sad... and yet a superbly crafted VILLANELLE! The waterfall/cascade-like repeating lines are so well placed, as per the nature of the form. A splendid piece!! Best wishes, Keith
