Ellonah Varela Poems

A sad smile broke upon a sensual lips,
Lifted the wine glass, took a few sips,
Tremors shook the gorgeous fingertips,
As the music blinds time as it slips.
...

Just let me sit here,
Stare at you from somewhere,
Let my heart beat without a care,
With all the love that I can't share.
...

Where to go, I asked,
How and where, and what is my task?
Am I to hide and wear a mask,
To blend in well till my time reached dusk?
...

Drawn, that was I,
Your image locked in my eye,
From my lips slipped a sigh,
As all thoughts have gone to fly.
...

At this young an age I set off to find,
A meaning so well defined,
By a song, a melody of a love in mind,
With a passion, untamed and wild.
...

Oh, 'tis shame, all the more a tragedy,
When a world of imaginary,
Comes better than reality,
That reality is naught but a lie, however we refused to see.
...
