One Hundred and Fifty-Five

Change

Earth and sand the same

Even mountains waste away

Some things never change

154

One Hundred and Fifty-Four

Weak

Sick with no disease

Caged for all the world to see

Wretched, strong or weak

153

One Hundred and Fifty-Three

Blurring

Waiting for a word

Never listened to the stars

Blurring night and day

152

One Hundred and Fifty-Two

Lesser

Lost along the way

Simple lies and lesser truths

Trailing close behind

151

One Hundred and Fifty-One

Trudging

Walk the chosen path

Weary eyes and trudging soul

No way to turn back

150

One Hundred and Fifty

Page

Chains that hold me in

No choice but to turn the page

Wishing I could sleep

149

One Hundred and Forty-Nine

Dripping

Strawberry dessert

Juice like blood in broken veins

Dripping form your mouth

148

One Hundred and Forty-Eight

East

Barefoot on the sand

Recollect the smell of salt

Fading in the east

147

One Hundred and Forty-Seven

Ages

Watch as ages pass

Dreams that fall apart at last

Live from dust to dust

146

One Hundred and Forty-Six

Price

If I sold my soul,

Gave up all that I am not,

Would your price be met?

145

One Hundred and Forty-Five

Pawn

One forgotten pawn

Whisked around the battlefield

Play that twisted game

144

One Hundred and Forty-Four

Crown

Halo and a throne

Bow as regent angels fall

Crown the demon king

143

One Hundred and Forty-Three

Diagnosis

Frailty of the soul

I have been misdiagnosed—

I am the disease

142

One Hundred and Forty-Two

Neither

Monsters here to stay

Found their way into my wall

Neither will escape

141

One Hundred and Forty-One

Respite

Hellish intentions

Risk a falsely-spoken name

All for vain respite

140

One Hundred and Forty

Ugly

Mirrors seem to stare

Ugly truths I thought I knew

Asking "do I dare?"

139

One Hundred and Thirty-Nine

Fame

Faces in a crowd

One is left to fade away

Memories of fame

138

One Hundred and Thirty-Eight

Risking

Twist and blame the pain

Stopped before a barbed wire fence

Risking your escape

137

One Hundred and Thirty-Seven

Searching

Lost, forgotten souls

Wander through the dusk and chill

Searching for themselves

136

One Hundred and Thirty-Six

Dead

Landmines in my bed

Toss and turn all through the night

Never wake up dead

135

One Hundred and Thirty-Five

Mars

Far from heavy light

Took a stroll to see the moon

Ended up on Mars

134

One Hundred and Thirty-Four

Groan

Lines traced through the dust

Far away the midnight groans

Fall short of the mark

133

One Hundred and Thirty-Three

Thoughts

Faces pressed to glass

Thinking thoughts you've never had

Wishing it was time

132

One Hundred and Thirty-Two

Skip

Breathing out of tune

Orchestrate the rise and fall

Skip the dénouement

131

One Hundred and Thirty-One

Wonder

Eyes awake at night

Shallow sleep and fallow dreams

Left to wonder why

130

One Hundred and Thirty

Frames

Cradle empty frames

Laden with the winter's dust

Memories remain

129

One Hundred and Twenty-Nine

Traverse

Jagged underfoot

Slice and thwart my chosen path

Stabbings I traverse

128

One Hundred and Twenty-Eight

Beasts

Bread for the masses

Riots start and never cease

Men are only beasts

127

One Hundred and Twenty-Seven

Quilt

The world is asleep

Snow is just the Autumn's quilt 

Dreams of coming Spring
