siren's lullaby
shayla ennis Feb 2014
shall i tell you a secret,
a song nobody knows,
the song that is irresistible,

in the sea of green blue foam,
we will sing to you all day,
come hither and frolic,
sweet is the color of cove and cave,

harps of silver we play,
happy blossoming shores,
silvery crimson shells and fish,
down shower the rainbow waterfalls,

sweet feminine faces do you see,
to that witch is mythical,
your eyes shall not believe

When She Dances
shayla ennis Feb 2015
When she dances you feel the heat
When she turns and looks your way
You feel the spark

It burns
Setting you on fire

She dances for you
She spins always looking at you
The floor set in flames

Burning a path your way
You just know you’ll be
Consumed
By her fire

When she dances you feel the spark
When she spins without stopping
You feel the heat

It burns
Setting your soul a flame

Dancing fire is what she is
Flames that burn allover
Covered in red
Sparking orange
Yellow setting all to light

Her eyes jemini green
Her skin a tanned brown
Her hair a heated cherry
A dress colored ruby
Heals so sharp when they hit the floor
The sparks fly

When she dances you feel the fire
When she looks at you feel the spark
The heat in your soul

It burns
Setting your soul a flame

musical murder
shayla ennis Feb 2014
serenades of decimation,
that prickle the breath,
verses of executions that leave,
life unabating,
free sonnets that frays the mind,
cantos of butchery that steal the morals,
trepidation that tempts the soul,
and hand of carnage,
harmony that haunts the heart,
songs that melt the essence,
homicide,
destruction that undoes the identity,
a production that speaks,
stanza's that ****

Let's Stop Running
shayla ennis Jun 2015
finding my way
it's hard to see the future
when the past blinds you

can time be rewound
starting over

can we reallymove forward
with the future so upside down

is there a way to make it right
right sideup

can time be rewound
starting over

thinking about the past
slows time down
the future speeding things up

the pain we feel fading
allowing us to run away from it
stoping us from excepting the truth

the future giving us something to look forward too
while we run without stopping

a force we can see
cousing us to slame the breaks on
relizing that running leads know were

can time be rewound
starting over

afliction
shayla ennis Feb 2014
i walk with you,
promises you make,
yet you lie,

you say im the only one,
i ask you to wait,
but you wont,

i leave you behind,
for the lies you speak,

i hope you die in hell's flames,
your corpse being sliced with a knife,

sowing the wounds that i inflict upon you,
let them fester with diseases,
this is a gratification to me,

as i rip out your heart,
so mine begins to beat again,
your blood no longer my poison,

but my elixir of life,
the pain i place upon you will never end,

i walked with you as one,
the promises you made to my heart,
these promises you broke

wondering vision
shayla ennis Feb 2014
like a flower,
like a thorn,

a wavering heart is ever altering,
its beat is a prism,

the magic is now,
melting into a smile,

neither moon nor star,
the current making sorcery above us,

the destiny so easily broken low,
thunder and light in magic night,

like a feather,
like a stone,

till that great sea snake under the
sea from her coiled sleeps in the central deeps,

like a moon,
like the darkness,

on the immense sea,
crimson shell,s
whose silvery spike in the nighttime sea,

yielding are the moss beds,
under the sea,
with a crown of pearl,

on a throne of gold,
a merman brave

bullies

they don't know me
nothing about me
not a thing

walking down the sidewalk
hearing whispers
nasty mean words

these words they speak
out of jealously
but they still bring pain

there only lies
they no nothing about me
not even trying to get to know me

feeling lost
can't make friends
everyone always laughing

they no nothing of who i am
what i may be
where i'm going

there words mean nothing as i grow
while they stay small
their words only bring silence

they no nothing about me
i'm the only one who knows me
everything there is to know

Riding wild
shayla ennis Feb 2015
Riding wild along empty roads
Covered in the dust of roads past
Wearing a t-shirt cover in holes and stains
No care in the world
No thoughts on my mind
No place to go
To call home
The open dust cover lands
A home
Freedom

Riding wild along empty roads
Going know were
Going everywhere
The night sky with its flaming stars
The sun blazing light casting shadows

Riding wild along empty roads
Sitting in my convertible
My hands around the heated steering wheel
Seats covered in leather
My blond hair flowing cause the wind

Riding wild along empty roads
Men whistling think they got a chance
Me looking at them with “I don’t think so boys”

Riding wild along empty roads
Dust covering me from head to toe
Driving by a field of wild stallions
Wondering if I should stop for awhile

Riding wild along empty dust covered roads
No were to go in mind
No place to call home
But the dust covered roads

Echoes of time
Can I hold you one more time
Tell you I love you
Can I play in the sand with you
Help you pick flowers for mom

Echoes of time
Do you remember when I walked you to school
Everything I did you did too
One and the same we were
Separate to our own spirits

Echoes of time
Can I help you with your shoes
Teach you how to dress
Being your sister always and forever

Echoes of time
These things that we did I miss
From toddler to adult
You've become

Nature’s Freedom
shayla ennis Sep 2014
Day light shines
Leaves fall
They change colors every color
Walking up a mountain
Pebbles and stones scattered everywhere
Grasses green and heavy
Rivers rush waters flows
Flowers blooming under sunlight
Sounds of birds speaking
A bear’s mighty roar
Grazing does
Wild animal’s securing
Every place
Sounds of nature true
Our hearts beating as one
Man, women and beast
Gentle and strong
Open lands
Open forests
Hunters come
They ****, they destroy
Fight we do to save what is ours
Taking back what was stolen
These rivers
These grasses
These lands

diary

what befalls when  a women
sheds her humanity
on the pages of a diary

she watches the altercation
slip away
her consciousness lies alone

their waiting for others
to care to read

you may see a split soul that weeps

when you see my words
my feelings
you see that we are not perfect

I've been on my knees
invoking
anticipating

what happens to a soul
that bleeds
trapped inside it's own
emotions

do we relinquish
our feelings
to a broken personality
that bleeds

letting it consume us
falling apart
unable to forget the pain

bound to live
forbidden to die
lost within an illusion
caught within a coil
living in a tormented hell
waiting to rebel
chasing unseen wraith
revenants of the past haunt me
how did i come to this fate
tortures i can not take
lost within my own mind
a phantasm without a door
can my past dues be paid
how have i come upon hells gate
will i escape
this maze in my mind
a labyrinth
tormented hallucination
death's voice a tribulation
will i live

To Die
shayla ennis Feb 2014
I lay alone falling into darkness,
the pain spreading through me,
cold ground beneath my flesh,

my blood spreading around me,
embrace the pain my soul says,

a knife i see but can not reach,
lights everywhere,
no one there,

my life slowly slipping,
fading away,
must i die,
can't it wait,

i stand as life fades,
tears fall like rain down my face,
so much must be done,
no time,

i wait near a tree,
sitting,
my mind calm,

the time has come,

im dead,
no longer here,
drifting through this endless night,
looking for my way home,

dead!

Fire can be a wall of flame

Or die down

My Reality
shayla ennis Feb 2015
Seeing the scares you left behind
Turn to flesh
Into a reality that I can’t live with
A nightmare that is like a panting
One that can see no destruction

I use flames to see it burn
But burn myself instead
A feeling of hate consumes me
A prayer to see the light in my soul
Put out

Looking to the sky
Where is the almighty
Why is that all I see be nothing
Why is there a feeling of utter hate?
Desperation to find my place

Is it too late to see what is lost?
Is the door closing on my hope?
I pray for the light to go out
For my suffering to end

from time and space,
i do not exist,
forever gone i am,

you bullied me to extinction,
your words of hate,
regret,
do you have any,

what you've done,
and wouldn't do,

i am dead,
your words killing me,
a ghost i have become to my friends,
if friends they be,
why did they not protect me,

their body's my shield,
their souls my strength,
both have cracked,

My wolf brother
shayla ennis Nov 2014
One wolf sister howls saddening, but encouraging tunes, to her wolf brother.
Cry she speaks let your rage loose, let your tears fall, only then can you begin to heal.
When you heal we will heal with you, as our cries join your own, you are our leader, it is you who has lost a brother wolf.
You are the son of a son; we are sisters of a sister.
Let the moons rays be your healing light.
Let the howls that we cry be your tears.
Let us be one as our voices reach the sky’s moon to our lost brother.
When he hears your voice and ours he will know that though his body maybe gone is soul is part of our own.
Forever he will stay, forever he will be parted.
This through does not matter for once a brother wolf always a brother wolf he shall be.

My heart screaming out for love
Love from you
I need you when I don’t want you
I have you when I need you

My heart screaming out for you
The love in my heart
Causing my heart to stutter
Every time I see you

When you walk by me and don’t see me
My heart stutters
Picking a faster beat

Looking at you as you get into your truck
Wondering where you’re heading
Me in my plain jeans and shirt
You in your work clothes

Black shirt
Blue jeans
And boots covered in mud

The heat simmering from the air
Can it get hotter?
Can it turn into steam?

Looking at me
As you go one way I another
Will we ever stop to talk?
Can we come together an say
What needs saying?

Plain little old me
Working you
How far apart we are
And close together we could be

Love heating up
Simmering in the summer air
Winter cold sitting side by side
Our love giving us warmth

THE WORLD
shayla ennis Feb 2014
when the conflict of demons brings the realms end,

we see it thus and take to the sunless sky,
my friends the gods are cruel,
the arrow as left thy huntresses hand,

my soul crafted for retribution,
ripples materialize on the depth-less expanse,
to become the dew that quenches the cosmos,

but their hopes are scattered by contention,
one is a hero,
one shall wonder the universe,
the last is taken captive,

the breeze ripples over the ocean surface,
legend shall whisper,
hero of the dusk,
healer of creation,

Falling angel

I keep falling
Hitting the ground
The wings given to me
By ancient gods
Torn from my body
My spirit losing its will

All my will being drained from me
Everything fading and being starved
Feeding the wars of aggression
Unable to ketch my breath

Seeing for the first time
A world around me
A chance to know what emotions are
Can one like myself find love?
Can an angel love a mortal?
Is a mortal’s heart strong enough?
To hold onto the light of
an angel who’s fallen

Hearing a voice constant
In my mind
Leading me to him
A heart so warm
To hold me
Can give me a dream
To believe in

ribboned with smoke,
wispers across water,
so quite,
the other side,
all that will remain of me,
a red hill ahead,
black snakes sliding into the water,
making the moon shiver,
i cross the bridge,
bones it is made of,
sunk deep in red water,
dark as the blood we bare,
as screams resonance,
sinks into flame,
eyes filled with fear

It is not pretend

do not call me a liar
do not say I am faking
you do not understand
therefore you cannot accept

Our nerves are always hurting
are muscles are constantly seizing
are bones constantly swelling and in pain
These are the signs remember them

Some of us can walk some of us can move some of us are stuck some of us cannot
some of us have it easy meds are helping some of us are not so lucky meds are failing

For me I'm the ladder I am stuck I am in pain meds do nothing

To be gothic
Always wear black
Always be gloomy
Always be sad
Always be vengeful
Always, always
That is what they expect

I am gothic
Not gloomy
not sad
none of these things am I

why do they say this?
why do they expect it?
I do not know

To be gothic is just that to be
Something other than what is expected
Something that is strange
Different

We are a free persons
This is good
not bad
So stop with the trash talk
Stop with the dishonor
Stop with the fake friendship
For it will hurt you not us

We are aware of your tricks
We cannot be fooled
For we are the ones who fool you
And trick you
This is our world
Our game of chess
And you will lose

The shadows are ours
The light is ours
The chaos is ours

Phantoms running through empty spaces
On a ledge I stand alone
Asking myself why
Slashed and bruised
My porcelain skin is
Reminding me of my prison
A home that should be safe
A place of companion and understanding
But when I look all I see
Is fury and hatred
For I am the one you refuse to accept and see
To you I am always wrong
Never right
What I have become is a humiliation in your eyes
Something to ignore
I see myself and wonder
Does your opinion matter?
Can I not be me my way?
And still make you proud
Must I always hide in shadow?

Freedom to Be Me
shayla ennis Nov 2015
I’m drowning, I can’t breath
Locked in a cage
Forced into chains
Losing control without choice

At the surface a masquerade
A mask of happiness
Nothing as it seems

Patience for freedom wearing thin
Into non existence
A person of perfection
A deception

I’m snapping the cage
Breaking the chains
Becoming me and not what you want

Freedom on the other side
A door filled with truth
The sun and clouds shining
With magic

The surface of a mirror
Not judging me
As you do

The mask falling off
A masquerade coming to a close
Taking power
Taking control

Another side of my self
The real me
No more pretend

Take me as I am
Or I walk away

Now is my time
Now it’s my path not yours
Ill change even if you don’t
Want me too

This is me
The real me
Take it or leave it
I don’t care

The chains are gone
The cage broken

Refusing to let go
Dragging me to my grave

Hells walls consuming me

Hearing nothing but screams
Of pain
Knowing I've no faith left to give me strength

Falling to my knees
Struggling to rise again

Welcoming the darkness
Marked by him for all time

For my soul

Looking up to see nothing

All just disappeared into darkness
Tears I cry keep falling
Missing a peace of my heart

My heart not completely whole
Cut in half
Each of us holding a peace of me

Do flowers grow in heaven
A garden of eden

Day by day
How can this be true
Week by week
Never got a chance to say farewell

Of you
Year by year
You’ll guide me helping me to see

To see you once more
Knowing its impossibility
You’re just gone

To whom do I dance my steps?
Can they hear me sing?
To the melody

Singing and dancing
Dancing and singing
Across the still river
Do my dancing steps take me?

To a garden never seen
Does the melody become stronger?
Raising my heart from its lonely despair

Here roses bloom
Daphidles too
Every color one can imagine

looking back
shayla ennis Apr 2014
looking back
to the Beginning
just me all alone
living in fear
moving through life like a current
wights pulling me down

looking back
lost from being someone else
trying to find me

can i be saved
from the darkness
that's my world

can i be my own self
that shines
can i dream

does my world always carry
a dark door
does anyone care for the
words i wright

by scarlet rose
this poem was inspired my that music group called 3 doors down and two of there songs "let me be myself", it's not my time"

obion couleuvre
shayla ennis Feb 2014
of cruelty,
of kindness,
love or hate,

it is by favor or by wrath of fate,
of good or ill,
of darkness blessing or of curse,

that what binds flesh and blood,

the fire of hell doth provide,
thoughts from within doth prevail,
darkness,

we who speak with tongues of serpents,
baying of hounds,

day of cross and trinity endith,
fill the void,
become the sun,
in fire's wrath

i think that the word "couleuvre" is french and it means snake not sure about the first word.

Quit silence
shayla ennis Sep 2014
I sit in darkness
With silence around me
This quietness that seems to never end
Sitting alone with no friends
My thoughts fluttering in my head
This bleak quit that scares my thoughts
My memories flying forward
Unneeded assistance to what I see and feel
A dark space for new thoughts
Things I can write
But dare not speak
Memory of truth I have
Words of falseness others speak
How to find the truth within the many lies
Why must my mind be so dark?
Can there be nothing of light
Will the memories I write always be with endless darkness
Frightened to quit
Silenced
Spoken memories always wrong
Who is right who is not?
Me or you

Element of winter
shayla ennis Dec 2015
Snow lies upon the ground
Coldly it blows through the sky
A wild wind all its own

Trees forcefully bent
Branches of life weighed with downing of white
A spell that binds us all
Like a tyrant king

The silence of its movements
The harshness of its fall
Chilling all in its wake
This unfeeling element

Chilled days without sun
Gray clouds
Colder nights freezing life
Icicles that hang from homes like lights

fear
shayla ennis Apr 2014
i sit in the darkness
for i can not see
why is it that emotion controls me
fear

i try to see the sun
but the cloudiness in my eyes
prevents me
fear

i want to feel safe
both day and night
but can't
fear

why is the darkness my comfort
but light my prison
fear

when i look inside myself is see a tornado of color
these colors are my emotions
emotions i can not control
fear

each color stands for one emotion
red is anger
blue is happiness
purple is sadness
black is hate
yellow is commonness
grey is fear

why can i not understand these emotions and control them
fear
do i really have these emotions
am i emotionless
a person who feels nothing

or is it something else
fear

The unheard place
shayla ennis Jun 2019
A shadow do I see
No figure Within
A shadow so still
Yet there is a voice

Follow
See
Hear
Come to us

It speaks
It repeats

We do not understand
Yet we are drawn to do as it asks
We follow the Shadow The Voice

Before us a new place
A place unheard-of
A place never spoken

We walk through the store that seems invisible to all but us
We find ourselves in a world confounded

This place a mystery
Yet we enjoy
A fictional world come to life

A fantasy now reality

Changing seasons
shayla ennis Aug 2019
The summer heat always Pleasant,
Always kind,
Always sincere,
As fall comes summer fades,
A breeze,  a chill arises,
We can smell winter in the air,
The cold becomes strong,
Lack of warmth increases,
Thus then we see spring around the corner
