Short Hundredfold Poems

A treasure more precious 
Than gems or gold, 
And paid for by most 
At any price, 
What rejoices the heart 
A hundredfold: 
To see on a loved one’s 
Lips a smile....

Victorian mirror was extraordinarily romantic
women who discovered her were never disappointed
their wishes came true after her purchase
men flocked to them, for their desirability was heightened
a hundredfold...

Fate, love, and coffee
turned into substitutable
with reminiscences,
Striving to be free from
cacophonous relics gifted
by your poisonous love
will my violaceous lyrics
mend my wounds, I urge you
a hundredfold of which you
allow no response,
I hold a bleeding soul, but you spurn
degrading you detects me though,
however, we can still endure any spell....

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 he budded..

He sprouted the third day,
Fruited—a hundredfold, and more.
Still fruiting because
He came to save....

Harmonious drudgery consoles
Broken heart battered,
Tender as it were. 
Overwhelming treachery
In her every word.
Powerless to resist,
Alluring charm, 
Never to be kissed,
Ravished in her arms.
Seductress oblivious 
Malformed monsters unfold.
Tearing away body fair
Vermin a hundredfold.
Encapsulating bliss torn
Morbid soul,
Lulled in subtle idleness
Enthralled not controlled.
Morn awakens light of day,
Sunrays abound, 
Sweet restfulness adorn,
New day reborn....
