Humanity Blinks

Cool bravery whispers distinguished themes
through illustrious sentences; wild love,
reverence strikes imagery, ideals smart,
grasp fine fingers from poetry's wet flow.
Humanity blinks - words wrap history
across hearts fashioned from stories of old,
new scenery capturing time's passion
while sorrow's ink drips quietly to earth.

Solitude snaps jaws and snarls at language;
delicate flickers of inspiration,
misfortune dances in candlelight's flames,
laughs itself into extreme confusion.
Words vanish along the curve of madness,
sing sonnets of yesteryear's brittle fog.
