OPHELIA'S DANGEROUS ILLUSIONS (Villanelle Form)

OPHELIA'S DANGEROUS ILLUSIONS (Villanelle Form)

See Shakespeare's HAMLET

Illusions are dangerous having no flaws!
But mirrors reflect truth in beauty's perfection;
I abide in cracks mired by illogical laws!

My blindness is surly the criminal cause;
I have a heart that rules by silly emotion.
Illusions are dangerous having no flaws!

Cowering in dreams fearful of rending claws
Which rip and maul fantasy's silky perception.
I abide in cracks mired by illogical laws!

Do I hear your sweet voice...yet, I give pause
For in my bowery there is no sure protection;
Illusions are dangerous having no flaws!

You promised to wed amid loving oohs an awes!
Oh Hamlet, madness results in lying convention;
I abide in cracks mired by illogical laws!

I hear the river acknowledge with rippling applause
This willful act of suicide, a personal oblation;
Into its depth my life it happily draws!
I abide in cracks mired by illogical laws!
