The Following are responses to a prompt in which we focused on the poetic form Villanelle (G-Unit).



Caged Lovers

No sunrise or sunset is magnificent
No full moon on the ocean is shimmering
Closing my eyes to see your face
Really trying to remember your taste
Our love is strong and true, but what are we
The caged lovers to do?
Wrongfully accused! My love, in his cage,
I pray he remains sane.
If we both close our eyes at the same time
Can we mentally connect for just a moment?
Maybe we do and that’s why I’ve remained true
A kiss through the glass just does no justice
But to look in your eyes and to see our love is
Not a lie, makes both our hearts shine.
Now back to my cage to fantasize of
Your face. I know you are more than likely
Doing the same. In your cage dreaming of my face,
Longing to remember my taste
Either way, still both in our cage,
We remain. I miss you!

Madness to Love

Madness, my life has become
Wasted love that negativity has so won

All my life I waited for true love
Ripped fast away
No night, no day

Madness my life has become
Negativity has caught this one, has caught this one

Looking for just one thing
True, pure happiness
No night, no day
Time push me away
Over my life, I have no say

Madness my life has become
Cause I feel I love no one

-M.T.



Untitled

Free me,
I am not asking
I’m wanting
Free me,
I am not telling
I’m needing
Free the soul my body graved
I am not asking
I’m wanting

Free me
I’m in need
I cannot grow
So I’m a dead seed
Free me
Like water to soul
To sun I just want to grow
And become
And become

-M.T.



These Walls

These walls are closing in
I’m having trouble dealing
I ask god to forgive my sins

I ask myself when
Will it stop being appealing
These walls are closing in

I might go to the Pen
I’m not easily healing
I ask god to forgive my sins

These wounds are hard to mend
My envelopes I keep sealing
These walls are closing in

Locked up in a den
White walls are concealing
I ask god to forgive my sins

I can no longer pretend
That this place is not stealing
These walls are closing in
I ask god to forgive my sins

-S.
