Tears Of Tone

And so begins the countdown

98 Tears of tone

All dripping from my eyes

Though from my pen drips these poems

Of all colors and variations

All sizes and combinations

All layered implications

All perfect orchestrations

Of dreams and nightmares

Blight things with white hairs

Circus freaks and school geeks

Black beaks you might fear

Dark days and light nights

Cruel ends and cold sights

Swift lifts and slow smites

Soul searches and self fights...

98 tears of tone

And a hundred and one poems
