View a love that ends like a beautiful sunset
Marvel the colours, the light and the silence
That conquers all expectations unmet
See the masterpiece in the sky, that God has kept
Forget the scorching heat of noon and the thirst it left
View a love that ends like a beautiful sunset
View it as a spectator, like on a movie set
View it as a critic, admire it, yet be impassive
It has left all your expectations unmet
Take the approaching night, take the rest it shall get
Be like a bird that returns home to it's nest
View a love that ends like a beautiful sunset
Don't wait in the dark with tears that wet
Your eyes, close them, sleep and get some rest
Open them to find new expectations unmet
One day you will pass the old roamed places
And wonder why you ever felt pain in these cases
For you viewed a love that ends like a beautiful sunset
That just conquered all expectations unmet
This poem is a Villanelle
[FONT=founders_grotesk_textlight]The highly structured villanelle is a nineteen-line poem with two repeating rhymes and two refrains. The form is made up of five tercets followed by a quatrain. The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem’s two concluding lines. Using capitals for the refrains and lowercase letters for the rhymes, the form could be expressed as: [/FONT]A1 b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.
