Shadows that move, Shadows that utter indistinguishable sounds
they crawl across misshapen floors that morph them into a twisted beast
Which skulks in the night, they take roads obscured to all but hounds

Dogs are flung into flustered mayhem that to human eyes are beyond all expounds
Of science as the Bodach touch our realm; by light nor night do they become deceased.
Shadows that move, Shadows that utter indistinguishable sounds,

Seen not by their black form in darkness but by their touch in the worlds grounds
Yet ever does their voice murmur and the air catch a lick of their scent, a hellish priest
Which skulks in the night, they take roads obscured to all but hounds

The Bodach are searching, ever searching within their enshrined bounds
For what none can say, for those who claim to have seen them are deceased.
Shadows that move, Shadows that utter indistinguishable sounds

They latch onto to you and deceive, they toy at your mind until you sound like circus clowns
To all who might listen to your babbling, all everyone sees is a devil that sucks on yeast
Which skulks in the night, they take roads obscured to all but hounds

You travel the common paths, predictability your enemy and by car you are taken to hell hounds,
In their ingenious shifts they have brought your death, now you too are a hellish beast.
Shadows that move, Shadows that utter indistinguishable sounds
That skulks in the night, they take roads obscured to all but hounds.
A Villanelle recreation of The poem of the Bodach

I'd like to give a special thank you to :iconvincentvff: as such I will put some works of their below.

YouthDays of sun and tadpoles
Of bikes and forts of grass
Ants, as big as nickels
Trains that woosh, on past
Battles, that lost no lives
Where the valiant always won
Times, that then seemed endless
I wish for those to come
May their summer days go on.
             WordsWhen words are weapons there’s no escape
No bullet proof vest for your Heart
When words are weapons their aim is true
They strike with fatal force
When words are weapons hate flows free
The victims like dominos fall
When words are weapons they truly make
Monsters of us all
            FragileOnly the shattered remain
Broken and bent
The fragile the lame
Tired and Torn
In pieces they play
A silent lament
Soft Shadows of past
Future so spent
Innocence stolen too soon
           Dark PlacesShadows in my mind
Places locked in time
Cells in which I scream
Soundless words of rage
Reflections of regrets
Self inflicted cage
 




Days of SunHigh on Branch and bough
Leaf and twig, shaggy hair
Hands and feet running free
Leap, turn, dare earth’s hard call
Alive, cares none, till starlight falls
Strong soft voice summons all
Echo's out, twilight's halls
Glowing beckons, home
Scent of hearth floats softly
Savoury in night air
Welcome all and even one
From days of sun-soaked
Guileless, fun.
             MasksFaces that we show
Thin translucent shells
Smoke charade's distract
Parts played all too well  
Time leaves only scars
Whispered echo’s sing
In chambers of the mind
Depthless, torments song’s  
Those lips can never tell
           Colour of Words             Eternal

I liked how you combined quite historical theme of Ouroboros and hell hounds with modern setting like mentions of cars and so on. It maked interesting poem.
