Al Ellis Poet Kyrielle

A Polarized Soul

to love and loathe at the same time 
is the nature of this glinting soul 
admiring the world with thoughts of crime 
in the life it can never control 

to hate and like the ways of the crowd
to leave with nothing yet leaving proud 
this soul lives in a world so polarized and cruel 
but still stands off like one glinting jewel 

to exist but never get to live at all 
to give all love and always get the fall
this polarized soul lives so fragile yet bold 
with its youngest dreams in a city so old
