My Lifeless Soul’s Reside: Day Seventeen

(villanelle)
I’ll let my ghosts caress these shifting tides -
The dead cannot express in shining sun -
Keep in their depths my lifeless soul’s reside.

How sweet they team, like part of life’s confide,
How slow the blood in gush that cannot run,
I’ll let my ghost caress these shifting tides.

Considering my broken stones misguide,
My ghosts search out in wasted seas undone,
Keep in their depths my lifeless soul’s reside.

This life, how soft in actors-smiles’ deride
This life how hard in every acts’ rerun,
I’ll let my ghosts caress these shifting tides.

Do churning waves keep safe their deadly prides,
As ghosts with knotted bones, their drowning done,
Keep in their depths my lifeless soul’s reside.

As life suggests this ocean’s cold divide
That cannot surface one love new begun,
I’ll let my ghosts caress these shifting tides,
Keep in their depths my lifeless soul’s reside.
