V for vicktory

And so the truth will out
Through tears we kvetch and shout
But in the end we all can see
That this anger is just uncertainty
Strength pulled from within
To wipe away that crazy grin
Now the world will know
That there's no shame in a show

Sweet song

I heard your voice again today
And wondered why you left
Those sweet, sweet words are heaven sent
And always leave me so bereft

Cold haiku

Its too cold for sleep
Impossible to rest
Turn the damn fan off!

Rapid race

Running to catch up
Running to slow down
Hoping for a rush
To stop this growing frown

Never having time
A race from every start
Wondering when the line
Will release this beating heart

Surely soon one day
We might find a place
Where tranquility abounds
And around us only grace

Temudgin

From steppe to steppe, I ruled the world
With blue-sky God watching over me
I gave my life to a greater cause
To unite my people, to set them free

My path in life writ in the stars
Now my name might be revered
But in my time when I walked the earth
I made men tremble, my name was feared

I strove through hurt, cold and pain
Enduring hunger, frost and rain
Through blackest night to earliest dawn
I rose from nothing to legend's mightiest Khan

No poem tonight.
I've worked on something that's not good enough even for my low standards and I can't force it on anyone just yet. As soon as I've got the two lines I'm missing, it'll be posted. Promise.

Slingshot

Hatred knows no bounds
And ignorance really abounds
Stripping someone of pride
Is a shameful way to hide
But all that goes around
Will come back around
And One day soon will be
Free of all this injury

Screamers

Value the silence
It's become so very rare
But when its more common
Will we miss the noise-filled air?

We tell ourselves no
But time will only tell
As now the fulfilling quiet
Is constantly shattered by a yell

We'll know quicker than ever
Just how much it means to us
When the nest is empty
And no one's left to fuss

Alter

Take me on a joy ride
One just meant for two
Under constantly moving skies
A veritable panoply of blue

Try to figure out why
I crave this crazy song
Longing for your verses
From dusk through night 'till dawn

Chase away the dew drops
So that our knees stay dry
While we silently worship
The melodies that made us cry

Let's give in to love
Let's find out all we can
That heady dance of devoted bliss
Uniting God and man

From ancient times to present days
We've brought this melding down
So let's indulge our lives a bit
Before we all just drown
