The Lost Target

   Posted by: dragonblogger Tags: , , , ,

The Lost Target

Mission acquired the target now known
Spending a day finding his quarry
Task at hand the moon must first set
The assassin rests with one eye open

The evening blooms like a jagged flower
Red moon casts an unsavory glance
A window lit from the inside, too easy
The rifle is perched on the opposite pitch

The head comes into focus finger on the trigger
The assassin ready to make payday come true
Suddenly he notices his target in his sight
His heart stops and his finger slackens

Before him was a woman like no other before
A face carved by a god he does not believe in
Hair so vibrant it dances like fire
Eyes staring out the window as if she knows

His gaze lingers a little longer
Her image burned forever into his mind
He tears up the contract and lowers the weapon
A creation this perfect should not be undone

So from that day forward his life was changed
Giving up the life he had known for so long
The next day when he showed up at her doorstep with flowers
He introduced himself as a local business man

A World That Sleeps

A drifting planet in an endless ocean
Discovery hanging on a thread of hope
A sphere so blue it captures your breath
Yet something even more unique is found

A world stands out from the other eight
On this world life exists and procreates
As many species as stars in the galaxy
Some have strength and some have stamina

Others are drawn to pen and book
One race seems to rule them all
Yet still so small, lacking so much knowledge
A world so busy yet and still a world that sleeps

The sun shines and the world barely understands
How the planet spins let alone the universe’s plans
So much to learn yet people are so simple
Warring for goods and land with out any principle

Should a focus be set upon anything could be achieved
This world is finite and soon its limit will be reached
What will it take to expand your point of view
This world will change sooner than later

People come together and pool your greatest minds
Solve the greatest riddles, become masters of your time
Brilliance comes from many nations fighting for the best
Discover a common purpose and put yourself to the test

You are not alone out in this great pond
Others lie just beyond your reach
Pool your knowledge and furnish your future
Life lies among the stars if you seek it

The Weeping Willow

See how the willows weeps
Streams of leaves falling like tears
From a face that never sleeps
Reaching for a sky that can never be obtained
The clouds above provide the only shade
For a willow that stands alone

You stand before this mighty tree
Simple plant of leaf and branch
Yet somehow you cannot see but feel
That the tree is whispering at you
Not just whispering but weeping openly
What is it you wonder, why so gloom?

I have seen a world and cannot stop
A world where villages burn down
People scorn each other and far worse still
Innocence is lost in children and more
The horrors that I cannot unsee
I am stuck here with this misery

So I weep for my children who are here
The animals and the plants, all that you see
I weep to stop living and seeing this hate
For all people are nothing but equals to me
What good does it do who is wrong or who is right
You are human as is she and those who came before

I am only a lone plant and can’t take anymore
Chop down my trunk and make this go away
So many people that lack purpose and harmony
If you were all plants you would be called weeds
For weeds overgrow and care not what else
Trample abroad to spread only oneself

One day will come when people wake up
All stand together, drink from the same cup
But I cannot wait and see any longer
I wish I could but I am not getting stronger
The feelings of hate leave me famished and weak
Harmony is almost gone and chaos at its peak

One Could Argue

   Posted by: dragonblogger Tags: , , , , ,

One Could Argue

One could argue whats wrong or right
One could argue whether its day or night
One could argue false or true
One could argue if the sky is blue

One could argue how yellow is the son
One could argue if the food is well done
One could argue how they see fit
One could argue to tests ones wit

One could argue there is no time
One could argue its not a crime
One could argue its not a choice
One could argue to hear ones voice

One could argue the beginning or end
One could argue whether you are a friend
One could argue the leaves on a clover
One could argue if this poem should be over

The Onion

I cry clear tears if you cut me
You shall cry too in return
My lines run in circles
My rings too numerous

I can be as sweet as an apple
I can be as potent as a brew
I can enhance flavor
or I can steal it from you

So bite into me
Savor my unique taste
carve me to decorate your plate
serve me as rings or bits

My red skin can garnish
My pulp can satiate
On a hamburger I am divine
I am the onion

An Oyster’s Pearls

Black and gray with silver swirls
Concealed within are priceless pearls
Collected and fashioned into whorls
And worn just under a lady’s curls

Found living deep beneath the sea
We dive for them in a hunting spree
Hoping to find not one or two, but three
Harvest them up and set their cargo free

This is what we want from them
For people crave that precious gem
For the look they give upon their femme
But this harvesting some would condemn

Two Sides To Every Tale

A murderer and a scoundrel
A man lies slain upon the ground
Justice he cries was found in death
Those who doubt shall see reason

A girl who saw the whole tale
Knew the truth of the scene
A robbery had gone awry
The victim had become the victor

The judge and jury deem him wrong
Just don’t buy his self defense
Forensics inconclusive no proof found
Where is innocent until proven guilty?

The girl too scared to come forward
Vindication would have been found
Her silent prayer just isn’t enough
To prevent the hanging that occurs

Forces of Nature

Bow before the forces of nature
For against them you have no defense
The air shall sweep you from this earth
Water shall crash upon your body
Earth shall open to swallow you whole
Leaving the fire to char your remains

Give respect to the forces of nature
They existed before you arrived
And will last long after your memory fades
You are but a grain of sand in the beach
And the ocean swallows you all in the end
Remember this for the rest of your days

Patterns

A glimpse of red and a pinch of blue
And soon you can see a pattern of two
Some yellow that blends with some pink
You make sense of this jumble of ink

What form should fill the page so fine
Shapes and colors that start with a line
When the pencils and oils set you free
A new object bringing the total to three

Your hands are all shaky from hours of toil
Would it be a masterpiece or just a gargoyle
You love how the colors blend in the back
Red fades to green and green fades to black

The finished work is signed you put down your pen
Now the day is over and tomorrow you begin again

Shine The Light

Shine the light through nightmarish clouds
Clean us from this acid rain
We look for love among haters
We look for life among the dead

Shine the light in this dark tunnel
Faith is only as strong as you are
We look for beauty in this ugly world
We look for peace when there is only war

Shine the light in the pits of hell
Forge your own morality from empathy
We look for a god that may not exist
We look for a solution from problems we create
