Lenore's angels
Silken in purple shades,
as the sunsets behind the mortal world
spoken in tongues of Nevermore.
Ebony demons dreaming
as murmured souls are burning
in a self made Hell.
Echo's of whispered words
at my chamber door
wrought ghost upon my floor
named here Lenore in the darkness,
a volume of forgotten Lenore.
A weak and dying ember of a bleak December
weary to the name Nevermore.
Silken in purple shades,
as the sunsets behind the mortal world
spoken in tongues of Nevermore.
Ebony demons dreaming
as murmured souls are burning
in a self made Hell.
Echo's of whispered words
at my chamber door
wrought ghost upon my floor
named here Lenore in the darkness,
a volume of forgotten Lenore.
A weak and dying ember of a bleak December
weary to the name Nevermore.

NEVERMORE
My husband left me for another
These are the things
I will not do for any future man
Cook - nevermore
Clean - nevermore
Iron - nevermore
Be pregnant - nevermore
Give birth - nevermore
Give him my paycheck - nevermore
Look the other way - nevermore
Be kind to my inlaws - nevermore
Move him 6 times in 6 years - nevermore
Put his career before mine - nevermore
If this sounds like I have become a major bitch
You would too....women have expiry dates
My husband took those "best years of my life"
Left me "holding the bag"
Of course if it happened to you - you would not be mad??????

A weary ghost of a mortal
By the name of Lenore
Plunked away at the ivory keys
A pianist she was but nevermore
Nor demons or angels can she can progress
Stuck down in the human world
A mere one of the shades, a wanderer
Half alive and half dead
There, yet forgotten
Stuck between night and day
Like the unfinished sunsets of purple
The deep blues not yet fully engulfing
The sky
And the light blues not yet covering with it's
Watercolored whisps
Another one of the group of lost souls
With their murmured silken words spoken
Weak volume unable to reverberate
Against the walls or floor
Unable to open
The shut door
Leading to the end of time
Stuck as a half being
In this chamber, Earth is a ghost's Hell.
Their tongues seem glued
To the roof of their mouth
The disdain way they murmur
Then say the fault must be in the echo's
Tired and weary, they are an ember slowly burning
They have already died, nevermore
Just wish to disappear and have rest
Forevermore.
Cool comp, welcome to DU.
My entry doesn't really make much sense. but it's all right.

Purple Shades
Mortal words spun webs
of purple shades
in whispered echos
that murmured Lenore
Ebony eyes weary and dying
in the fading sunset
a forgotten name slipped
from a ghost memory
nevermore to nurture
the souls earthy chamber
Dreaming of a door
that hides her demons
burning tongues that lick
the ember of her world
spoken betrayals
in weak volume
grope her reluctance
wrought and draped
upon a silken floor
of crimson tears
The subconscious stroke
missing its stimulate sting
surreal suffering laughs
through echoing layers
pliant branches tap a song
on the glass of her mind
awakening from the dream
that held her captive
nevermore to nurture
the souls earthy chamber
