Ripples by Michelle A. Lee 1995


Spirals through the cages
airy thoughts and potent styles
chips of substance in a world of absolutes

Restless slumbers in antique dress
of futured shows, held powerless
the freedom fights; the weapons fall
beyond the corpses dreaded stall
the stiffened bodies numbers rise
the frame stilled faces; fierce demise
the open thoughts, half bent all spayed
the lonely faces inside stockade
the bags return all battered dead
while back at home the traitors fled
swore not to fight for peace should reign
despite the steadfast; held campaign
and hummed and chanted hymns of battle
while the pools of ripples rattle

The presence forced the hearts beyond
the cemetaries holy frond
and in the prayers the thoughts run deep
and lived and died; one final sleep


Sorry, nothing more yet...hurry up folks! There's tons of room!!!
