Catastrophe
The Lenora Jan 2018
La lune est merveilleuse
Mais, c’est bleu.
La lune est super.
C’est une lune de sang.
Une belle catastrophe.


The moon is marvelous.
But, it is blue.
The moon is super.
It is a blood moon.
A beautiful catastrophe.

Rushing By
The Lenora Aug 2018
The train is moving so fast
I can't catch my breath

It's all moving past me
So quickly I can't see

All I can think of is the past
But the past is gone
While the present is rushing by
The future is rushing by
It's all rushing by
Yet here I am

Stuck in between it all

Friday Night Moon

Revealing all we have yet to keep in secret

This fine Friday night will exploit all that we wish to

The Time
The Lenora Aug 2017
Time is so hard to take care of and watch after,
It's the perfect illusion that we all would like to reach,
But can't.

A little bit of time is within us all,
However, only we can come out of the time we so desperately want.

The Past
The Lenora Mar 2019
the past seems like yesterday
the mystic feelings
rising from deep within

but the past is the past
and we all know it won't last
not in our lifetime

if it is wrong to cling
to the things that are gone
than I assume the responsibility
of going back into the past
and get right along

Blinded Visions
The Lenora Jul 2017
You can hide in the dark,
but I withhold night vision.

You can say words that make no sense,
but I can translate it all.

I see you, but seeing you is not enough
to live our such a glorious dream.

They can say it all but what do they really mean?

It can all be understood,
but somehow it's not.

Escape from Night
The Lenora May 2019
It occurs at midnight
When the world is dark
And quiet
All you can hear is your own
Sincere weep for escape

But the truth is
That once you have been
Held ahold by the night
There is no way back
When the alluring effect
Consumes your mind

Can anyone really win?
Does anyone actually try?

Sky is Bleeding
The Lenora Aug 2019
The sky is bleeding with lust
Fire drips from its cloudy veins
Onto the world below
Cars drive towards the flames
Where they will be judged
With beauty and passion

Seven-thirty is the time for splendor
Power and pain
When the clouds turn pink
And clarity becomes clear

The Lenora Jul 2018
The storm arises
As my stomach turns
I can feel the sorrow
The wind delivers

The trees sway so fast
All I dream is to be free
The dark, grey clouds
Cover my face and enter my mind

I can't help but feel pain yet amazement
As I watch the storm arise
From deep within my own chained eyes

But one I will accept

He Could Hate
The Lenora Oct 2018
Could he love?
Oh, could this disfigured
creature love?

Will he soar beyond the
unlimited factor of love?
Will he accept himself the way
the village could never imagine?

Will he open his mind and heart
to
To

Oh, how could this creature love
when all he wanted
Was what he couldn't get?

Could he love?
'Tis far more possible for the
creature
To hate

Empty Want
The Lenora Jun 2017
I look around to see but all I see is what I want

It won't carry me to where I desire to go

What I would like to face,
is what I could encounter

Yet nothing is in everything and as the end draws near,
all I can see is what I want

There is Nothing
The Lenora Jul 2018
She weeps too much
Because there is nothing there

Who would have thought
Of such a devastating truth?

Clinging to hope
Even then we knew
All that is here now
Is only now for here

So why must she weep
So, so, so very much

Because all that she knew
Was deemed untrue

There is nothing there
And there will never be.

The Dark Moon
The Lenora Jun 2018
It lies beneath the ground, safe and sound, bound to bring us to a point

Does it know our motivations- our will to spin around in our own oxygen?

A type of musical note lifts up from the stone
A kind of poetic mist fills our eyes with the visions to set us free

It sings, it laughs, it watches us cry
It dances and prances at our own accord

The dark moon always finds us
Lying in our rooms, sleeping in the night
The dark moon always finds us,
Providing us with the dynamite

What does it tell you to do?
It watches us in such a manner

The dark moon

Illusion
The Lenora Apr 2019
The thrill of the windy air
Runs through my veins
As my excitement
Drips from a dark and gloomy

Filled with wonder of the past
And future,
All the horrors combined
So that happiness
Is an illusion

the sky is as clear as a glass window
with animated fluffy clouds
parting way for the sun to come through
and shine light on a new day
filled with cleansing for the ignorant

but here I lie
unable to move
due to my sorrow
but I too
can still look out
and enjoy the sky
even if my own ignorant soul
has yet to be cleansed

Panicked Truth
The Lenora Jun 2017
A misty morning can cover your lies,
but your regret will take your demise.

When the sun comes up, it will remember what the moon told it.
And what it knows- you can't hide from.

Soon the black cat will claw your admission right out of your mouth.
The difference is, you're not a mouse.
You can play, but you won't be able to get away.

Soon our pain won't amount to much thought
and we will surely die.

Unbearable Alone
The Lenora Oct 2018
It’s unbearable alone
Here on my throne
I wish that you’d come back

I chose you that fine night
And took away all your fright
Yet you still put up a fight
I wish that you’d come back

All those feelings that we shared
I could sense you truly cared
So why don’t you just come back?

It’s unbearable alone
Sitting on my throne
In this dark and ***** mansion

Grab my hand as you come back
Let’s live life back on track
And bring life to ourselves
Once again

The Nightmare
The Lenora Oct 2018
Feeding into the haunts
of my thoughts,
I begin to fade away

Slipping into nothing
as I enter yet a new world
I am of complete helplessness
I can’t seem to reach my words

You leave me defenseless
Yet I see your face
And I see the enchantment
of the deep and dark place

Let me go, set me free
Allow me to wake up
Save me from thee

Don’t hold me down as
I begin to suffer
I surrender to The Nightmare

To Give In To Someone
The Lenora Sep 2018
To give in to someone with passion is but only a dream.

To love with passion and see no wrong, only as wild as it seems.



My heart, I want it to feel the flames of the inner fire.

Burning deeply, burning deeply by my desire.



To give in to someone and to feel such a euphoric rush,

is all but a dream, a want, and a desperate wish.
