Can you guess what the theme is? Most of the people that read this will already know but whatevs.


quick as silver light
though not cold quite hot its air
hot like blacksmith steel

love, twin of the earth
life devoid the shade doth have
release your arrows

life of the party
the spring of activity
o, busy blue sphere

the flames of war rage
beat the drums that call "BATTLE"
tainted scarlet stone

gargantuan gale
the willow's wisp so crimson
restless maelstrom sky

setting moons all day
and despite the company
she is desolate

dangerous dancer
a clock-work bull's eye turning
child of newer days

seas frozen in time
secrets of the great dark storm
grandiose tempest

the smallest has gone
no longer one of our own
a new family

contrast

I stood in utter darkness. Almost suffocated by the very density of the thick black shroud, I kept my eyes wide open. Then a distant glimmer with no warning and the breaking ocean of night crumbles as the shine washes over me, then through me and blinded by the light...

I sing a new song

scene of a morning treason

More random right-before-bed poetry! This one's a tad morbid...

shivers the air
throbs once more the wave
weakening seal

keep a watchful eye
o, hawk circling
this dawn awakens

tearing ribbons
piercing sharply
the blade has found you

haunted day, hunted prey
rings the breaking chalice fallen
death has reaped no finer spoil
