Julie Cottingham Poet Villanelle

Lost

Across the dry and barren desert night

Where jewels shine in starlit skies of red

The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight

 

I wander mindless lost on sands of might

The consciousness barely keeps me led

Across the dry and barren desert nights


Oasis green and vibrant quenching slight

No harvest that my hunger may be fed

The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight


No end of this my agony in sight

Where merciful I may rest my head

Across the dry and barren desert nights


This arid land of sand I fight

Voices echo fail hear what is said

Across the dry and barren desert nights


Rescue comes my saving guiding light

Lay me down upon this white sand bed

Across the dry and barren desert night

The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight.

There is a little meloncholy within here it seems-mingled with hope-that anyone whom knows you-would long to fill-to be the one to lay your beauty upon those sands, of forever they would hope! Another, soulful write dear-which makes it another "Treasure!"~"My Loves As Always, John!":)
