The Torrents Of Black Water (Villanelle Poem)
The torrents of black water washes away innocence
Washing away any hopes and dreams that may have remained
As the plights of the sane die out in the gusting wind
Youthful smiles and playful guiles
Long since forgotten in a world of rotting morals
The torrents of black water washes away innocence
Cry out oh lord why thou hast forsaken us?
Judgmental stares fall on wasted prayers
As the plights of the sane die out in the gusting wind
The sins of the dammed are shared with the saved
No act of attrition can lead to perdition
The torrents of black water washes away innocence
Living in darkness we search an eternity’s span
For a distant flickering light we scream into the night
As the plights of the sane die out in the gusting wind
In the end nothing’s the same yet nothing has changed
Forever we are searching, but the waters keep churning
The torrents of black water washes away innocence
As the plights of the sane die out in the gusting wind
