The Humble Observance of Enmity
This poem describes that when something beautiful someone appreciates is shared with others, they rip it apart because they do not see through the same lenses. When people who love something that others love are hurt for that thing they love, they fear showing their passion and hobbies because they fear negativity.
Enmity
A word shrouded
In darkness.
It is to be hostile
But people are
Hostile to the
Thought of hostility.
It is something frowned upon
on the outside But used on
the inside
To keep control in sight.
It makes people fear that
Which they cannot see
And worship that which
they do not know. People
think they want
What they don’t have
But the desire of the unknown
Can lead to
The person who desires it
To become unknown.
Ultra Omnes
Ultra
Latin for
Beyond
Which is
Ultraviolet
Unable to be
Seen
Unless one
looks
Especially
closely. Is to
be beyond
ahead Or
outside the
average
Expectations?
Is to be all
Omnes
To be nothing
Or everything?
And are
those who
Are beyond
All
Really behind
No-one?
Define
To define
Is to reflect
Meaning
Or create it
To define is to
Paint a picture
A story
A people
A world
A universe
Inevitable with its
creation. How do
words come to
be? Sounds
articulated
In mouth
The air
Giving helping them
Glide into a
dictionary? How do
words come to
thrive? When
Often
They are spoken
Broken into pride?
How do words
come to hurt?
When they’re
Shoved down
The throats of people
Who do they contrast?
How do words kill?
When they spear
through your Heart
But remain in sight
Still?
Happy goodbyes return sorrowfully
When I hold this humble flower
With its petals of aspiration
The stem stemming from stardom
No longer in desperation.
Spirited away
From my palm
From my hand
Feelings coming towards
Them
Until they
Understand.
The fractured petals
Go in
One ear
Out the other
Blooming on shoulders
Getting colder
Back to the beholder
The flower is wilted and brown
Its beauty has been
Left to
Drown.
Their eyes are tinted gray
Mine are wide and bright
Needless to say
we are
Different,
But
The flowers are
Weary tonight.
