Far Far Away Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Far Far Away

Rating: 5.0


She only knows that she does not know.
Tears in her eyes blur the real and unreal.
Her world falling apart in the falling snow.

She can only feel that she can not feel
(The bitter cold invades her soul) .
She only knows that she does not know.

She feels so...stupid...she feels such...a fool.
Church bells shatter the silence peal after peal
her world falling apart in the falling snow.

Voices in her head she can’t control
memories that only pain can reveal
her world falling apart in the falling snow.

Ice steals across the pool.

Only the snow knows what it attempts to conceal.

She only knows that she does not know...

...her world falling apart in the falling snow.

Is this a villanelle...seems so....just about...to my ear. If so you use the repetition beautifully and to perfect effect. So so sad though despite the sweetness of its music. Think the form really helped you here to rein in the passion and the loss only to make it even more so! But then that's what form does. beautiful peice of writing and very very impressive but oh so sad! GinaXXX
