CafeRg's Splash Poetry Picture Challenge Winner ~ August 2004

First Place, "Tacit Words", August 2004 went to WordWeaver for his poem "Doomed Adoration". Honorable Mention went to Petro for his poem "A Potential Sanguinary Scene". Both from SplashHall Poetry.

Doomed Adoration

Hanging curtains across each window
even though they were not an exact fit.
From the inside I reveal vulnerability
while outside eyes viewed normality.

Scratching at the window your eyelids
kept prying and marching blindly over
my trampled exposed inhibitions.
I listen to the roar of my heartbeat.

Consumed, I sat apathetic at the window
over the belches of my shyness and
struck a match to my reservations.
The smell of kerosene is invigorating.
The blazing inferno has my aroma.
