At First Glance
Ella Aug 2018
Did you pick up
       a spirit in that bottle?
Intoxicated by the
       lure of what lies?
Dancing on the left
       rope full throttle?
Begging plight sweet
       release plea savour nye?
Tethered, fetter,
       even weathered cries.
Jute,twine, bound
        tight not for sails filled.
Dock the time
         glass message until.
Just at a glance,
         discovers we've swallowed
                            swill.

Around the bend
Ella Sep 2017
Icicles on
                 my tessellation
                                            cast the
                                                           fly
    For
           play
                   adulation

                                just around the bend
            I 'll catch
                            his
          rainbow's

Mirror
Ella Sep 2017
Mere words can't describe
the you I hold inside

Insufficient the attempt
to paint one such as thee

If only, the hands you see
mirror the man I know you to be

Then mere words would render
All speechlessly

Sweet Vengeance
Ella Sep 2017
Peering through the veil brightly
Shinning in the darkest of night

He dared to ***** out innocence
Stealing his secret delight

Standing with fist held tight in her soul torn discreetly
Would one day arise ever since soft yet sweetly

As she disclosed the open door truth stood rightly
Unleashing tears she held in years ever so, tightly

An Angel beyond the wisdom of the ages
Broke through, annihilation , several generations stuck in plastic cages.

Clarity gifted like providential timing.
An appointment made, freedom bells chiming.

Mother's Breath
Ella Aug 2017
You
held
my hand
I fell asleep
I woke with the Lord
my soul to keep
In the Book of Life
tis writen that
perfect day
After all,
we were never meant
to stay
Born anew
I look forward
to seeing you
At Heaven's pearly gates
Jesus
awaits
like a
father
I never knew
I'm at complete rest
in my Savior's
arms
Completely healed from
all of life's
perils  
and harm
I send peace on the wings
of
a Dove
Knowing full well
I have been
truly
Loved.

Treasure
Ella Aug 2017
God of
                               hinges skeleton
                                                keyed holes
Peer through
                        looking glass
                                               salt coals
Fire by day
                          heap kindness
                                               upon high
Refined clay
                         vessel's pearl
                                                fingers pry

Light
Ella Aug 2017
Thankful,
every jot and tiddle
Beauty for ashes
contains.
Each burden gifted
Open arms receive.
Master,
tutor life's moments like rain.
Take no prisoners
released shame.
Forgiveness relief
no yoke deceive.
Everyday repeat refrain.
Daily,
freedom moments lifted.
Springs forth joy's sonnet.
A heart full rhyme
sings it's fiddle.
Gratitude,
orchestrates my one desire.
Each step depart
muck from mire.

Tattered
Ella Jul 2017
Linen strength woven
                     carry the wait
It's patience does bare
                      What time can't
disparity will erase
                      Cleansing each
tattered thought
                       The waves
        crash ashore
                       Ebb and flow
Moon tides roar
                       One day it will be
forever more

Seed
Ella Jul 2017
In the midst of
Summer's heat,
ripen amber fields
that gave.
Before the dew
thistles bend
royal color shew.
Farmer's delight
to know    
all heads must go.
Until dusk to dawn
thorns remain.
Toil chaff disdain
to Fall.
Tis the beauty of
it all.
