Ellie King Poem
Your flawless body
Those eyes, that hair
I see your picture
I stare and stare
I paid a price
I rolled the dice
I was so scared
But I didn’t know
Who I was
Or that what I needed
Was already there.

Ellie King Poem
A pawn in hand of circumstance
The serendipity
We find the answer with a dance
And scorn the apathy
The efflorescence of our faith
When all has gone awry
Beleaguered by the storm we stay
Safe only in the eye
Yearning for propinquity, we pray
God only knows we try
While some grasp at shadows of a rope
Others hold the hand
A shattered hourglass, devoid of hope
Lies in the scattered sand

Ellie King Poem
Oh prison cell where I reside
Castle of my wounded pride
I’d ask for help, to be set free
Alas, I hold the only key!
My hand against the bar, the glass
The darkest shadows of my past
I wrote a twisted ugly plot
My Genie’s in a bottle locked
Stars shoot through the open sky
I make no wish, you wonder why?
Too scared I am, to count to three
And find you staring back at me.

Ellie King Poem
On the day they united
The first song was born
The moon ceased it’s orbit
They took Earth by storm
Oh perfect endeavor
They designed second song
Terribly clever
Yet sweet and so strong
With piano and voice
With word and with pen
They made it happen
Again and again
Fire, subtle and fleeting
Quenched before it could start
A ballad so lovely
Twas’ the sound of a heart
Somehow the magic
Began to subside
It became more illusive
The harder they tried
So broken as they tore apart
She left behind her soul
Consumed by an aching heart
Just waiting to grow old
She looked ‘cross the courtyard
Her hands clenched up tight
As a familiar face
Appeared in the light
Time stood still with memories
From over the years
Back came the laughter
The pain and the fears
I don’t want to fall, she said
Therefore I will not fly
Take me with chains
To the land of goodbye
