Wander in mindless direction,
naïve hearts' miscalculation;
roses give probability,
leaving us in uncertainty.
Intuition follows heartstrings,
peculiar, impractical things,
which never love reality,
leaving us in uncertainty.
Take back heartless apologies,
mind games of ideologies,
seldom play practicality,
leaving us in uncertainty.
We are blinded by illusion,
tip-toe around in confusion;
heartbreaks bring insecurity,
leaving us in uncertainty.
Wander in mindless direction,
leaving us in uncertainty.

Prompt:
"The imagination is a tool of betrayal..."
by Nienna Calmcacil "Seventh Flame" in http://allpoetry.com/poem/5601201
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
