Tempted Night, a Villanelle
Reality is faux, dreams are for real. Praying before and after, every meal.
The lure, the persuasion, the tempted night.
Epitome of free thinking, why conceal. Deception of status quo masks the kite.
Reality is faux, dreams are for real.
Women elude the dubious clear sight. Whether you are black, white, orange, or teal.
The lure, the persuasion, the tempted night.
Pleasure does not define sex, dear tonight. Glee does not always mean gay, the human right.
Reality is faux, dreams are for real.
The air is tarnished with flawed banter fight. Within the night, the falling can heal.
The lure, the persuasion, the tempted night.
Verity is my strength, dignity, light. Miracles of urges bring a new height.
Reality is faux, dreams are for real. The lure, the persuasion, the tempted night.

Post a CommentBeautiful villanelle. I wrote my first one not long ago. I love the line of reality being faux and dreams being real.
