This poem was very much inspired by the TV Show of the same name.

The Pretender

Who are you my friend and what do you do
Is what I ask to someone who has no name
Someone who has no role yet assumes so many
And lives a life between the shadows

With unpredictable gonzo tendencies
Your paths as multihued as the rainbow
One uniform you may wear today
Only to change into another tomorrow

One day you may work at a deli
packaging and selling salami
another in the hospital wing
assessing a patient for charity

Nobody would think you an impostor
You assume the roles so naturally
Everyone is drawn to your charisma
As the moths are drawn to the light

How can one live when they don’t know who they are
This is a testament to your fortitude
Slow down now and reveal your true self
Stop living the way of The Pretender

Poem by Dragon Blogger

Give You The World

If only I could wrap you in a cloud
The sky would be yours to soar
If only I could sail you to the sun
The sea would be yours to command

Moving mountains would be at your command
If the strength of gods I should possess
Slay your worries as knights slay dragons
I shall be your one true hero

If only I could provide more than I am able
Would it show just how much I would do
For you are the one I live for
I aspire to give you the world

End This War With A Pact

This war we fight leaves both sides drained
Our will crumbles like a stale old saltine
A ceasefire ensues so we can pursue another path

We bring to the table all our hopes and fears
Afraid each will try to finagle this treaty
After pondering for hours we decide to move forward

Let us unite into a new federation
So tractor your leaders and followers alike
bring them forth so that we may reach this concord

Read and sign this paper into a contract
Bring forth our alliance and peace to all
A new day begins and we delight that we are now brothers

Poem by Dragon Blogger

Seeds of Darkness

Come forth creatures of night
From the shadow you are birthed
Ancient horrors have come to be
Sanity is cast from reality

Visions have foretold this very day
Of monsters and ghasts with one intention
To rend your soul from your possession
And add it to their tally

Demons snarl and banshees howl
Your ears betray you and you mind unravels
Look upon these evil beings
And see your own reflection in the mirror

Lies

You speak to me in a firestorm of deception
You would stain my soul and adulterate my heart
would you continue to accost my feelings like a one-armed bandit?
This web of deceit must end

I cannot be sustained by this dark radiance
your words cut and sting without mercy
should someone learn how the web should be woven
your innocence will be undone

who knows your true motives and feelings
when you equivocate your intentions so
the truth lies in broken pieces
maybe I need to escape this insanity

I had used some of these Haiku’s for a contest and many never ended up as admissions so instead of letting them go to waste decided to make a blog post with all my random Haiku’s from last week.

A Flash

A flash and my mind goes numb
did I just see this girl walk past
my heart stopped beating and time stood still
just enough time to gaze at her beauty

A flash and I had to act quickly
before this lady left my life forever
how would I get her to notice me
my hopes and dreams rest on this second

A flash and I reacted on instinct
her hand came into contact with mine
a jolt of surreal knocked back my senses
this girl just overloaded my mind

A flash and my eyes met hers
a small smile crept on her face
she knew my thoughts and I felt hers
that was all it took to win her

Fifty years later that lady is still with me
How I remember each and every flash of our lives
our children our grown and our time is dwindling
what a life I have lead and it will end in a flash.

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

You Will Always Be My Love

I was born with a single purpose
A soul who was lost without a mate
A journey I have undertaken
Our lives are the only stakes

In finding you I felt whole
In loving you I am complete
My soul is in peace and my mind at rest
With you by my side the world is at my feet

We have had our fair share of pain
And a sprinkle of some grief
But destiny would challenge us so
As if to test if we are true

So loving you is loving me
My heart shall know no other
For you are the greatest treasure
And will always be my love and our childrens mother
