Coven
Emily Starr Nov 2023
No need to ******
Came a willing lamb
Snap your unused lures
And paint my empty wool

Solstice
Emily Starr Dec 2023
Did Earth feel slighted
For Her credit due
She turns our lives so carefully
For praises sparse and few

Alchemy
Emily Starr Nov 2023
I cried for joy
That wasn't mine
I found the tears
In love sublimed

Dawn
Emily Starr Nov 2023
Imagine you a bird
That dared to fly the dark
Just to see the sun
Before it's fated spark

Phoenix
Emily Starr Oct 2023
My chest of ash
And hopeless dreams
In anger burned
In spite of meat

My flaming heart
And heated head
Defiance fed
A sparking wish

Youth
Emily Starr Nov 2023
For when the world was
My first and only love
And all the rest
A mystery

For when my time
Was infinite
And Destiny
A distant dream

Beaten and bruised
My lovely muse

Era
Emily Starr Sep 2023
Era
One for wonder
And one for dust
One inspires
The other tires
One is nearer
Yet less dearer
All are timeless
None to stay

Reincarnation
Emily Starr Aug 2023
Recalled a certain thrill          
At hate for a hypocrisy        
A smirk for sacrilege          

And wonder all along            
It's just the pluck of memory
A thread of this in me            

A narrow path is mine  
In rows of dolls, they string in line
No righteous face in time

Melody
Emily Starr May 2021
Rhymes revolve when you're around
Wrapping tendrils through my brain
Running verses into ground
Renewing words that clear your rain

Winter's sky
In green July
Quite the con-
trasting delight

Glow
Emily Starr Nov 2023
When snow falls
The world slows
And doesn't shun
The reminisce

Ghost
Emily Starr Mar 2021
Why's a spirit to be feared
But a soul once held so dear
Do they stand with empty hands
All their memories turned to sand

Is peril in nothing to lose
In abundance feel accused
Will they damage what is yours
Because what was went before

What if reminisce is to see
Watching life begin and be
But to live a little more
Hearing your laugh through a door

Suppose a blessing they will give
Hoping that this love relives
Wonder if a sweeter smile
Crosses their face on the mile

Right

The south is fading
And grasses grey
The thistles pale
All minds they stay

IQ
Emily Starr Dec 2023
IQ
Every body's
Brilliant
Because before
We weren't
And now
We're everything

Happy 4th
Emily Starr Jul 2023
Let there be noise
Explosions bled
Great cocophony
Inside my head

Drown the voice
Blissful hush!
Timorous absence
Muffled drums

For fear! It's pause...
Unpresent thoughts
They're rushing back
They crush and clot

Ballad
Emily Starr Nov 2023
Black sticky balm
Percussions drum
It's flaming calm

Sweet icy chips
Sharp notes *****
Metallic lit

Red velvet voice
Seductress nice
What relished vice

Choose
Emily Starr Sep 2023
I'm in the murky place
Between two warring worlds
Blind to the beauty blurred
By swirling milky words

I see your catacombs
Cemented single minds
Feel crumbling rockiness
As cracks create the ground

When a good soul
Writes the Lovely
It is lovely

But a dark heart
Tells of Beauty
And it's Wonder
