Villanelle

* * *

The papers have faded away

the ink on the nib has dried like thin paint

an ever-surging wind blows from the bay


Not allowing for me to replay

that smile on her face so faint

the papers have faded away


Her chequered dress of that midday

remembered in that phrase as quaint

an ever-surging wind blows from the bay


The words have flown away in disarray

and memories trusted to ink are now faint

the papers have faded away


For memory is so prompt to betray

and cannot be held back by any restraint

an ever-surging wind blows from the bay


Causing nothing but the smile to remain to my dismay

as the image dissolves leaving nothing but feint

the papers have faded away

An ever-surging wind blows from the bay.
