Melani Udaeta Poet Villanelle

Light Burns Inside the Abyss

Light burns inside the abyss; 
Try as they might to blow it out, 
nothing hides burning voices;  

You’re always given two choices, 
collapse or begin the breakout; 
Light burns inside the abyss; 

Derive comfort from knowing this, 
it’s futile to try and silence a shout; 
Nothing hides burning voices; 

A smile on a day full of darkness; 
Intervention of a complete blackout,
light burns inside the abyss; 

Inhaling a taste of unending bliss, 
with hope there is never a final bout; 
Nothing hides burning voices; 
 
Like a sunrise your heart rejoices
leaving no room for any doubt;
Light burns inside the abyss, 
nothing hides burning voices.

L Milton Hankins March 29, 2022 at 2:53 PM Nicely done, Melani. I loved your choice of rhymes and their juxtaposition within your villanelle. These are not easy to write, and you have succeeded in splendid fashion. Melani Udaeta March 29, 2022 at 3:13 PM Thank you!
