Springtime
The Lenora Apr 2019
Renaissance of love and wisdom
Arise in the air
Springtime flowers bloom
To defeat despair

Yet here lies all
The secrets told
To live this season
With a spirit that is old

Time
The Lenora Oct 2017
The time's lost and it would've been great to
Make it last forever as it seemed

But the time's gone
You can't get it back

So long, time.

Evil, yet beautiful time.

Moon Soul
The Lenora Nov 2019
I saw the moon tonight
She was so big
And oh so bright

She followed me
Until I followed her
Into the darkness
Where her glow is endless

As the fire blazes across the street
I can feel the immense electrified motion
I can feel the heat

As the storm above drizzles rain
The fire slowly goes out
There goes the pain

The sky is so high above me
Sometimes I feel I can reach it
But today I feel I cannot
So I will just have to look up
And see it

Monsoon
The Lenora Jul 2019
The forceful dust moving in
From the raging monsoon
Reveals the inner needs deep within me

The lightning runs through the sky
Bringing power and vengeance
If only I was as beautiful and strong

The thunder screams what I want to scream
To those below me
Shake them up with wonder

The dust blinds it all
Yet binds it all
As one

Young Dream

The brave young heart is aching

A dream leads to a compulsive, sincere

Accordion
The Lenora Nov 2017
Her eyes droop so low, so low to the ground
When the accordion plays

All her dreams are left untouched, but not defined
When the accordion plays

She clings to the ground, holding on tight
When the accordion plays

Nothing disturbs the accordance of the scene
The girl is untouched, but not defined

Her mouth painfully sighs, so loud, yet so soft
When the accordion plays

All her past lives, come back to life
When the accordion plays

She turns on her back, lifeless
When the accordion plays

Nothing disturbs the accordance of the scene-
Except for the girl’s past lives coming back to life

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
The Lenora Oct 2018
When I open my eyes wide
I’ll reach out down there
And as I flash you a gleam
I want you to sing
That sweet, sweet melody

I dance all alone,
In my castle on my own
While I lose myself in
That sweet, sweet rhythm

When arises the lune
I look down to you
And fall in love yet again
With that sweet, sweet tune

Comfortable with fright
I depend on your song
To bring me back to life
My dearest, Children of the Night

The Rain

Yet the raindrops reach inside of me
So roughly and strong

And be washed away

The Poor Girl
The Lenora Sep 2017
The poor girl was taken too soon
Why have you done this?

Such an innocent, radiant smile
Washed away by a sickly frown

A frown of not only sickness but pain
An aching, agonizing pain
A pain that you have caused

Why have you done this?
The poor girl was taken too soon

The Current State
The Lenora Jun 2017
I'm drowning in a flood brought on by myself

The only light I can see is a false hope,

And the only words spoken to me are just a mere
social expectation.

I'm living in an endless void of want and desire.

It's gotten to be so intense,
I'm losing balance.

And the only way to disarm this hysteria is
for magic to happen.

A Nightmare I Feel
The Lenora Apr 2018
The doors creak to remind me you’re here

I can’t escape, I can only run to nowhere

If I try to hide, I’ll drive myself insane

If I show up for you, It won’t be the same



The doors creak to remind me you’re here

The air is different, filled with smoke

I can hardly see, hardly breathe

This is truly a nightmare I feel

Encounter ☥
The Lenora May 2018
Smokey whispers awaken my spirit
In the middle of the night

A somber hope arises in the atmosphere
In the middle of unconsciousness

Dainty aspirations reach out
As I pull them in

The fear is obsolete
Despair is no longer mine

I give in sans contemplation
And I fly high
Into darkness

And all I can do

Even if what's ahead
Is the great unknown

Nowhere
The Lenora Jun 2018
I am drowning as if I have never lived
Grasping ahold of nothingness tainted in the air
Gasping for the love I once sought

In a constant search for the answers
Which lead all but nowhere
At last I have learned to make that nowhere

My Cries

A sweet, coded melody;
So right and so wrong.

My pain is dated and weighted and strong,
And it turns my cries into
An enchanting song.

Dismissed (Encounter)
The Lenora Jun 2017
Names will be said,
words exchanged, and laughs protected
But eyes will stay locked in the mind
and remain over-protected.

Ever so wishes to get across,
would be mildly hard to even start.

Oh, the frustration and sighing grief-
Oh how uncanny the feelings run deep.

What would it take to live forever-
with nothing but bliss?

Dream after dream, this desire will dismiss.

Garden of Gravestones
The Lenora Nov 2017
They are all upon us lying deep underground
However their ears remain open above

Their eyes watch as we make our way through the green garden
The garden is fresh with blooming plants and flowers

It symbolizes all that they can't have
They've wasted it away to death

Our realities of dreams are agonizing reminders
For what they can't have

What should be disarmed in my mind of deceit

Fallen
The Lenora May 2018
She drags her feet effortlessly up the
shining steps

Lifting her higher
and closer to regret

How does such an entity within have so much
grace,
yet seem so corrupt with power?

If there is something deeper,
deep within then perhaps the gates
should open
letting the river flow in

Or perhaps she shall retrace her steps
and fall back on what she knew
and relearn
how to live it

Garden of Magic

Bring me a dream
Of lavender and cream
As I fade away in
The childhood screams

I’ll take thee away
Where I too love to stay
Yet I chase my pleasure
To the end of my way

Follow me to a new world
Of tragic spells of magic
We haven’t any want
Rather a suspicious bond
Of hateful love for youth

Singing With The Shadows
The Lenora Oct 2017
Singing with the shadows, dreaming of an escape
They dance before me, bringing all but delight
Their souls are fierce with might, but here I am,
Defenseless and hopeless

Dreaming with the shadows, singing of a tune
Twisted and deformed with the notes
Wishing away all that was set up for me
Empowered and hopeful

The shadows change the the temperament of the mood
They whisk upon all of our souls
Bringing upon a sorrowful wind of competence
A painful determination of accomplishment
Thank you shadows, thank you

The Thought

The thought was bizarre
Though the feeling was much stronger

Has the darkness around us
Brought us closer

To the truth?

The truth lies within the rose
Covered in snow
Fallen from utter despair...

You were here in body
But there in spirit

Because the thought was strange
Though the feeling bore more power
Than any of us

All I ever wanted was never truly enough.

So why am I always finding myself here?

Locked up in my own isolated cage,

My dreams haven't yet failed me,

They've configured it all- all for all.

Yet I'm here with nothing to withdraw
from my own personal experience.

Moonlight Dripping

As I lay carelessly on my bed
Thinking of the times
Triggering my dread

The moonlight shines
It shines through and through my window
Dripping it’s light upon the mantel and pillows

This is the time I deserve to enjoy the dark
When I know the moon is there with me
Not a camera could capture this moment
But my eyes and record can

There’s no one I’d rather be with
At the midnight hour
Then the glorious moon
And her beautiful light
