and a whisper
of unrest snakes
through the ranks.
The moon sends pearls of light
bouncing off batons.
Battle cries, the beat of feet
crushing the concrete
builds to a frayed silken crescendo.

Peace sequestered;
shreds of Grandma's organza dress
crammed into bottles
with the scent of gasoline.
Flames cleave the star-spangled sky
like accidental brushstrokes
against the urban canvas.
The lips of an inferno
kiss human flesh.

Sunrise;
the horizon bleeds rose.
Speechless breaths and breathless
speech meld together
in dulcet unison.
Mute with adrenaline,
they drop their stones,
hand by hand, on to the
forever ruptured pavement. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 57 [informant] => xXInkInMyVeinsXx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

Rupture

Topic: war

Midnight;
and a whisper
of unrest snakes
through the ranks.
The moon sends pearls of light
bouncing off batons.
Battle cries, the beat of feet
crushing the concrete
builds to a frayed silken crescendo.

Peace sequestered;
shreds of Grandma's organza dress
crammed into bottles
with the scent of gasoline.
Flames cleave the star-spangled sky
like accidental brushstrokes
against the urban canvas.
The lips of an inferno
kiss human flesh.

Sunrise;
the horizon bleeds rose.
Speechless breaths and breathless
speech meld together
in dulcet unison.
Mute with adrenaline,
they drop their stones,
hand by hand, on to the
forever ruptured pavement.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
