Strike the blow
Rent the veil
Tear it asunder
Speak now or
Hold your peace
Fear the silence
Cut the ties
Slice the bands
Rip it apart
Close the lid
Throw the dirt
Bury it deep
Shed the tear
Lick the salt
Taste it bitter
Drink it down
Throw it up
Choke on it
Betray the trust
Lie to truth
Convince your self
Cards are laid
Dice are thrown
Life goes on

Yes! This is the other one I requested. And it's even better than I remembered.
I didn't remember that each line has 3 words in it, as well. The structure is awesome. So effective in communicating the mood and feel of the poem. I like how you stick to one concept per stanza--that clarifies the form even more. And as always the imagery is powerful.
Hmmm... this one might translate well to music too. I'll think about it once I'm done with New Hope. ;)

I can't really explain why, but I really like this one . . . It gives me a feeling of kind of haphazard chaos that for some reason is kind of pervertedly appealing . . . I dunno. It gives me kind of an eerie feeling, I guess . . .
