Poetry: Villanelles

Villanelle: Ebb and Flow

The waves of the ocean ebb and flow
Through the morning and the night
It's hard to say where they will go

The wind tosses the water with its vicious blow
Causing a terror and a fright
The waves of the ocean ebb and flow

Shorelines surrender, slipping with the undertow
Waves crashing endlessly, putting up a fight
It's hard to say where they will go

The ocean is a live show
Always changing within sight
The waves of the ocean ebb and flow

Reflecting, let your imagination grow
Extending and reaching to a new height
It's hard to say where they will go

Try to capture every high and every low
But you never can, try as you might
The waves of the ocean ebb and flow
It's hard to say where they will go

    The Villain "L"

    Things in this body are not exactly what they seem.
    I am intolerant to lactose, that invisible dairy foe.

    First Kiss (A Villanelle)

    There is a ringing in my ears.
    our sweet love, this first kiss,
    I'm overwhelmed with fear.

    My pounding
