Dusk Blue, Slate Grey

An Eye Inspired Villanelle

By Indelible InkPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Eyes of calm, eyes content...

Blue or green or grey as slate:

So much time is yet unspent.

-----

On the heel's of dusk's descent,

Lemony suns rise like cream for bait.

Eyes of calm, eyes content...

-----

An awesome life, a little bent,

Let's get going, lives await!

So much time is yet unspent.

-----

Her eyes, her ears, her lips consent,

Rich with love, poor of hate;

Eyes of calm, eyes content...

-----

She sees angels in ascent,

You'll find your bliss beyond the gate:

So much time is yet unspent.

-----

A newborn day is heaven sent,

But who among us knows their fate?

Eyes of calm, eyes content...

So much time is yet unspent!
