A candle lit by the window, burned

She stood there, in contemplation

In the only place, she knew so well

Locked away, she was seeking salvation

From those, who chastised, for naught

She fought hard in the very beginning

Alas, she dared not fight them anymore

There was never a chance of her winning

Where she remained, alone, in her beauty

Kept inside, what they called, a living hell

Most had forgotten why she was there

But, she’d never let them forget, her name was Elle

 

April Writing Prompts – Her name was Elle – Day 30/30 – Hard to believe another month is gone, not only for Michelle’s prompts, but this is also the end of National Poetry Month.  Here’s to looking ahead!!

Eclipsed ~ #poetry

You shadowed my light, almost on cue

Blocked the rays that shone just so

Seized the moment, however brief

To hide that which I may never know

Eclipsed, I remained in the dark

Fighting my way through the pitch

Turned my face, away from the sight

As you easily captured, bewitched

Could I reclaim the moment I needed

To describe this ethereal sensation

The return of the light, in the daytime sky

To which I pray, is our Heavenly salvation

Sins of Yesterday

I peel the roses, one by one

Make my way down hollow halls

Leave a fragrant trail behind me

Watching the petals, as they fall

 

The color of blood, stains my hands

As I grasp the delicate stems

These thorns, a mere reminder

When I was once condemned

 

Still I’ll search for my salvation

Leave the petals where they lay

Seek to find redemption

From the sins of yesterday
