Best Hundredfold Poems

It started with one utterance 
that grew into a shout.
That cry grew louder in his ear.
He could not get it out.

The bellowing prolonged itself,
and then one cry was two.
His frightened eyes searched faces on
the teeming avenue.

On the edge of reason then,
he gaped at strangers’ lips,
but...

Wild eyed I wade through reflections,  
as I unhook from the moon.  

Branches become nets, become veins,  
that drape from entangling limbs.  
Harmless mistakes, underscored a hundredfold, 
creating cracks in the Earth.  

My feet still find the pond floor. ...

He wed his fate on mountain cold,
Where now she kneels on blood-stained snow.
He journeyed far, his love to hold.
He wed his fate on mountain cold,
their moments - gems - seemed hundredfold. . .
before the cawing of the crow.
He wed his fate on mountain cold,
Where now...

The Gift of Christmas

Some people say Christmas in this present time
Wanders lost
Through flashing ads and tinsel carelessly strung
On an artificial bough.

Some people say the Spirit of Christmas
Lives no more -
The simple Christ Child’s birth
Coldly mocked by glittering commercials
For diamond rings and robot toys.

Some say our...

Just one more time, 
just one more breath,
 just one more moment to remember the past, 
lull in thy memories, 
breathe in thy essence, 
to look upon thy face,
 to know you still care,
 to know what we had was special, 
to be preserved in...

DAUGHTER'S WEDDING ADVICE

An old woman once spoke to her young daughter
who was soon to be a bride.
The icing is not the body, but the spirit.
The body is the cake that the spirit covers.
This combination cannot be given away without meaning,
not even if the intent is...

Have you ever had a nagging feeling that something isn't right ?
Now multiply a hundredfold, this represents my plight
The world laid out before you, on the surface all is well
Non specific swirling darkness, grave forebodings dwell
Try to keep your focus, through long shadows ebbing light
While...

The termite culture's rich and vast, 
more so, sometimes, than humankind, 
with martyrs and mujahideen, 
and projects ponderous yet precise, 
and back-up plans, a hundredfold. 
How do they do it? 

Society is based on caste, 
with tasks and territory assigned 
by social rank. Some watch,...

And she came on an even with a basket of grapes
While her smiles reflected in the purplish drupe
She said “A treat for your melodious voice
A gesture for helping me with my choir’s songs.”

And so I took the present home
Shared with my sweet sisters, dad and...

We have an enemy within called the ego
who prevents us from using our mind intelligently.
It hides deep within our heart
and emerges with regularity
to challenge and consume our will.

Like charcoal stain as thick as soot,
the leaves were crumbling underfoot,
and murkiness was manifold.

I stood, enveloped by a fog,
a lonesome figure in the bog,
and shuddered in the gloaming's cold.

As through the woods I'd had to grope,
I'd had no beam of shining hope.
I'd stopped, for I'd...

There is more than one value of a Browned-Coin
and no matter how hard it may be to accept and appreciate their worth
I unlike you
have decided to keep both coins
Shiny and Darkened

Today 
I choose the Browned-Coin I found lying on the ground in the Suburbs
As though
The...

He came to save.
But the cross was the crux
Of the Father's dire demand.
So he went.

He came to give life,
But was lifted, left on a tree,
Hanging in the singeing sun.
So he died.

He came to reap,
But the fruit must first die,
Buried in the belly of the earth.
So...

A fallen villain;
Slayer of the innocent and lover of pain;
A gifted mystic who prostituted the endowments of Nature,
And thus drunk her  cup of fury with mysterious pleasure.

Sharks found a rare meal of flesh and blood
That they would not have had,
Thanks to the seasond American...

As I See You

Loneliness engulfed my being
Every time I remember the days
I was holding you in my arms
Caressing your fragile body.

Making you feel that I'm there
Never to leave you, all alone
We're inseparable during those moments
I made it a point that I'm there every time you...
