day one hundred sixty-four: there will be blood.

this is guaranteed
there will be blood
when the monster breathes
it will drip and fall and splash
and dreams may come true
but nightmares follow
in the shadows
lurking behind every happy thought
there is that one filled with terror and oblivion
you don't know what to expect
or when to expected
you just know there will be blood
there will be a life taken
so lurk not in the shadows
steal to the light
but even then death might catch up to you
and only then can you even try
to put up a fight.

day sixty-six: doubting heart.

mix the feelings

like a snowy slush

flood them over the dam

churn them up

like an upset stomach

trying to escape

shake me up

my hands are shaking

from the old confusion i've come to know

change the feelings

toward one or the other

and feel the epic guilt

fix the broken

things that are deep

buried beneath the oceans

dive down deep

and dig them

dig up the doubts i keep

take them ashore

and hide them away

don't let me see where they are

for if i notice

where the sand has been disturbed

i'll dig till death for my doubting heart.

day sixty-four: these are tears.

tears

so many of them

like an meteor shower

on a hot summer night

tears streak across my sky

and leave blazing trails of white,

clean, welcome, whiteness,

like a too hot flame

searing tears of stress

being expelled

sorrowful tears of hurt

being let go

silent tears of hatred

forcing themselves out

so many tears

slowly falling down

thank you, gravity.

day sixty-three: dancing in the dark.

there was a sky

filled with emptiness

and empty of the moon

so the sun filled it up

to the brim

(the emptiness, that is)

with warm honey and love

and there was a sky

filled with sunny love

and empty of the moon

so the sun left

because the sky was not happy

with the sticky sweet honey

and the love that did not mean much

and there was nothing left

but empty

so the moon came

with his smooth light

and livened up the sky

but not with something sticky sweet

with something smooth and cool

something like the feeling

of dancing in the dark.
