Night-time Villanelle

I spend my time in deepest night
and dream. I hold onto the sweet gaze of soft, blue eyes
as they dance in wild moonlight.

I walk the streets ready to fight
for these feelings that run across dark skies,
and spend my time in deepest night.

I reach for unseen stars. Bright
beams bring me to extreme highs
as we dance in wild moonlight.

Your auburn hair holds me, as light
covers me, calms me. My heart dies,
and I spend my time in deepest night.

Memories rush into a tight,
unknown corner of my mind. Desperate cries
dance in wild moonlight.

I try to make everything right,
and hold you late into the night. Keep the lies,
because I spend my time in night,
and dance my life with you in wild moonlight
