Villanelle

All good things must come to an end
The sunset fades as we approach the night
Who knows what awaits around the bend

All the announcements we must send
The horizon looks to be bright
All good things must come to an end

Torn friendships we must mend
Time is too short to fight
Who knows what awaits around the bend

Tears of sadness and joy seem to be the trend
But we won't cry cause we know we did it right
All good things must come to an end

Into new places we all will blend
Each with our own shining light
Who knows what awaits around the bend

In a new world we must fend
Never forgetting this short flight
All good things must come to an end
Who knows what awaits around the bend.

Deception.

The mermaid's chest fluttered with fear
As the essence of Calvin Klein came too near
The dark coolwater motioned her in
as she was blinded by his aqua chrome fin

Mighty mauve were her cheeks when he entered the room
It was Romeo and Juliet under the luminous moon
She described his lips as a red velvet touch
His Ferrari black hair, it was just too much

As he taxied by her heartbeat flew
oblivion took over as he worked his voodoo
Always say no, her friends would mention
He was a one man show, no contradiction

Sitting in a corner in the black cafe,
just thinking and picking at her peach parfait,
Still recovering from last nights kiss
something blue came to mind, he was so missed

Then through the dark lights she saw something new
The silver ice hair accompanied by who?
Lost in his chapel of love he reached for her face
Over the sandalwood table in which they both embraced

A flash of fuscia surfaced her skin
diesel fuel flew through her, spreading her thin
She stood up making fists walking towards the couple
They'll think I’m only a waitress and won't cause any trouble

The fight in her head raged as she threw the water
messing up the room as if it were Pearl Harbor
She re-loaded the gun and let him have it again,

She would be mad for today,
But tomorrow she would give in...
