VILLANELLE


COLOUR IN THE SPACES

Colour in the space within the silence
There is no peaceful sleep after a row
Dance through all the gaps in your defence

You know that your hate is a pretence
And your stubbornness is just a habit now
Colour in the space within the silence

Why use words, damaging and dense?
Stop struggling aimless through the slough
Dance through all the gaps in your defence

This rivalry does not make any sense
Make peace in this life your goal and vow
Colour in the space within the silence

Don’t get yourself irate, upset and tense
Soothe away the lines from your brow
Dance through all the gaps in your defence

All your excuses are childish nonsense
You have the solutions, you know how
Colour in the space within the silence
Dance through all the gaps in your defence.
