One Hundred and Twenty-Six

Fuses
Waiting for the end
Cannons mark the finish line
Fuses sparked with age

One Hundred and Twenty-Five

Arms
Fingers, lips, and hearts
Living in each other's arms
We outshine the stars

One Hundred and Twenty-Four

Words
Fight the burning eyes
Empty threats to fill the void
Silent words unheard

One Hundred and Twenty-Three

Brush
Paint me shades of green
Canvas ripped in dreams at night
Brush strokes tipped with red

One Hundred and Twenty-Two

Unbecoming
Taken from the skies
Storms that tear the world apart
Unbecoming rage

One Hundred and Twenty-One

Reach
Sinking out of reach
Screaming slips to lifeless limbs
Echoes on the waves

Broken
Waiting to go numb
Broken time and time again
Pain that never dulls

Sound
Shield yourself with sound
Speak in thoughts that no one hears
Tremble in the dark

One Hundred and Eighteen

Arid
Once the strength of steel
Life succumbs to arid waste
Fissures lace the ground

Bliss
Forever falling
One can only fall so far
Ignorance was bliss

Ruby
Such deafening noise
Drowning out the sounds of peace
Slashed in ruby rain

Reign
Night falls while you sleep
Unseen vices all but reign
Running from the light

One Hundred and Fourteen

Drip
Half-full coffee cups
Stories told among the lost
Emptied drip by drip

One Hundred and Thirteen

Insect
Bites that sting and bleed
Too late is the insect seen
Venom slowly spreads

One Hundred and Twelve

Seen
Blossoms on the hill
One small thorn hides in their midst
Hoping to be seen

Call
Bait for the weak-willed
Revolutions call me home
Tempted with a dream

One Hundred and Ten

Unlock
Vibrant monotone
Light-borne fingers wield the keys
Unlock sleeping souls

One Hundred and Nine

Plucked
Horrors washed ashore
Sinking tides reveal the truth
Plucked from foaming waves

One Hundred and Eight

Worth
Likened to the stars
Set above the world below
Scorned for all their worth

One Hundred and Seven

Fool
Masks that seem so sweet
Every beat, another fool
No one stops to think

Monday, January 10, 2011

106

One Hundred and Six

Glass
Mute the humble sound
Coolly watch the steady fall of
Rain behind the glass

Call
Sunlight struggles through
Storms are brewing just ahead
Waiting for their call

One Hundred and Four

Havoc
Clouds predict a storm
Lightning poses empty threats
Havoc wrought in flames

Confirm
Weakness takes the blame
New and old confirm defeat
Never show your strength

One Hundred and Two

There
Wind combs through my hair
Once I thought it pulled me home
Now it drags me there

101

One Hundred and One

Passage
Multitudes of man
Setting forth on broken trails
Passage has a cost

Aging
Knowing what I don't
Reach toward an aging past
Endings come and go

Perfectly composed
Laughter never sounds so real
Rushing to the door

Ninety-Eight

Savage
Quick to cast them down
Subtle hints and savage lies
Always on the run

97

Ninety-Seven

Haunt
Pictures on the wall
Faces melt in cold contempt
Demons haunt these halls
