Unsettled Night
Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
As the night holds the last of the warmth
Burrows of her brow lives likely to unfold
And her heart leaves with it dire and soft
The night holds mysteries from her heart
Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
Where she buries her feelings to impart
Burrows of her brow lives likely to unfold
She freezes where men bring her flowers
The night holds mysteries from her heart
The time is elongated by the night towers
Where she buries her feelings to impart
No other person can understand her eyes
She freezes where men bring her flowers
It’s one of a many distinguished disguise
The time is elongated by the night towers
She forces herself to embellish the night
No other person can understand her eyes
Softly she extinguishes nearly gone sight
It’s one of a many distinguished disguise
As the night holds the last of the warmth
She forces herself to embellish the night
And her heart leaves with it dire and soft
Softly she extinguishes nearly gone sight
Russell Sivey
Anyone know if this is a form? It's not a true Pantoum! A reverse Pantoum maybe?
