Hour of Horror
June by EK Ellis
Unified hurt soul deep and beyond
Nursing a broken heart
Every day a reminder you’re not here
Grim by EK Ellis
Obnoxious nature
Unattractive attitude
Aged wisdom
Dire consequences
Nasty approach
Loathing behavior
Gloomy personality
Ugly disposition
Bleak outlook
Love sometimes is grim
One Last Petal
But I am strong
Wind nor rain has not
Washed away my existence
My roots are deep entangled
With the tears of the ones
Who have beheld my beauty
See I’m wisdom and purity
I am love peace and unity
I stand alone and I’m free
Menace to Poetry
Emotions integrating
Heart and soul
Segregating the weak from the strong
Blood sweat tears
Cathartic healing
Driven to poetic madness
Beautiful anger
Dangerous sword to divide
The connotation of meaning
To words
Symbolically spoken
From the soul
A two edge sword
Dividing and cutting words
To shred
Bringing dread and wanting
Fear to those all whom opposed
The warning
Poetry can be hostile and
Gentle in the same breath
A dagger in the heart of words
A lovers whispers to the spirit
A whimper of a soft moan
Of pleasure
Don’t mistaken for
Menace to poetry
Your Name is What?
You have this name no one can pronounce
Ordinary no one can blame your parents
Unique I wouldn’t call it
Redundant to everyone ears who hears it
Not original, but you think it is
Animal mistakenly answer to it
Many have tried and failed to get the right
pronunciation
Even you’re not quite sure how to say it
I think it a joke someone played on you
So don’t get mad if you’re called something
else
Were your parents drinking when they came up
with it
Heaven help me and them I think they were
At mention of your name people burst out in
flames
Time to think about getting another name
Your name is what?
Visionary
Insurmountable
wisdom
Seeing the future
for what it holds
Intellectual
refugee
Offering thanks to
a power greater than
Neglect truth
never told
Air of dominance
not found in soul
Renege on a
promise you will not find
Yielding insight
into creative thinker
Enough
Sometimes saying
sorry
Means very little
if you’re hurting
Feeling miserable
for yourself
Blaming the world
for the pain
You’re in when
you caused it
Looking to others
to solve your problems
If you could only
look in the mirror
And see your
answers there
You can be at
your lowest
But there are
others lower than you
Be thankful you
are not where
They are
Pain
Visual Sense
Enthralled in desire
Smoldering embers
Burst into flames
With every emotion of motion
Eyes closed moans
And whispers of love
Spent you open your eyes
Only to see someone else
In your vision…
Replaced by the image in your head
Broken Vessel
Beaten spiritually
Regrets too many
Odious feeling of self
Kindred spirit to death
Eulogy tells the tale forgotten
Nuance of secrets whispered
Vigilant ghosts circle a raw carcass
Ebullient they dance to death
Sorrowful tears cast shadows
Solemn words echo across the earth
Exultant warriors beat their chests
Lariat catches the last breath
