Bad Decisions

Choices loom about you like the tendrils of an octopus
You call upon your faith and make decisions based on information
Matters demand your attention
Your poor decisions bury people in a landslide
Lies dusted off of half truth fall in sprinkles
One thing you hold precious
Your soul is not marketable in this environment
Confessions cannot absolve failure
Blood does not quench the thirsty
Pain does not end the suffering
Ice does not stop the burning
And in the end
All you can do is reveal the truth
And wait for judgement

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Bug In A Tank

This is my bug in the tank
Which I have my dad to thank

He caught it for me
Found it in a tree

It can be called a grasshopper
but really locust is more proper

It jumps up in the air so high
I hope that away it won’t fly

It eats sticks and leaves so green
I keep the tank all nice and clean

Speckled yellow with brown spots
Even having some white dots

Finding him was good luck
But momma thinks bugs are yuck

-Poem by Dragon Blogger and Son

Thanks to the following people for submitting their words: @SurfCityJay (love), @grumpy79 (euphoria), @izealove (sycophant), @summerbreeze80 (desperation), @WebBetty (fastidious), @SonoranDragon (spizzerinctum), @infohwyman (triumph)

Madness For Love

One is driven to desperation
For the euphoria some call love
Muster up all the spizzerinctum you have
Love need not be a fastidious game

Love ebbs and flows like the tide
It is there without realizing it
It is found without searching for it
Flowing around you like the ocean

A sycophant has no chance of finding it
Nor one whose greed see’s no good
A lonely heart may not even notice it
As a careless one could easily lose it

Finding love is one’s ultimate triumph
Sustaining it is an even bigger accomplishment
All find hope in this ocean of fish
Where the water itself is what you sought all along

The stone that fills my chest
A jagged rock buried deep
My sacrifice is my only salvation
Poison festers in my soul
One life it is a pity
That it should end in misery

Dark gremlins line the steps
Doors crumble in my wake
Lies breed like insects
Lives are broken
Decay lies at my doorstep
A skeleton bears the only key

A light calls down through the shade
A calling to a higher truth
Shadows cower in the light
Love shines a way that’s clear
A single lifeline of hope
In a flash despair fights panic

A stroke so swift and so good
Cleanse the evil and the dark
Split the stone so love can bleed
Fill ones pores with hope
Fill ones mind with calm
Fill ones soul with freedom

Sacrifice is Salvation

Here are the 10 people and their words who contributed today from twitter:

@wizzardsblog (hectic), @summerbreeze80 (caress), @coreblox (somnambulant), @azredneck (pharmacy), @Miragi (loquacious), @lejonprime (predisposed), @brullig (smarmy), @izealove (parade), @jamiain (basketball), @_McLaughlin (Tuesday)

Sleep Walking

Having trouble sleeping for weeks
Life troubles are a stench that reeks

Hectic job causes too much stress
With no one at home to hold and caress

Having become a somnambulant sleeper
Losing track of time as I fall deeper

Living this way has been rough
This Tuesday I finally had enough

Smarmy doctor wrote me a scrip
To the store I then took a trip

Pharmacy has sold me this pill
To help me sleep and lie still

A loquacious person in my sleep
I reveal the secrets that I keep

Was I predisposed to this condition
Finding a cure is my new mission

I sat down much later that night
Watching basketball, my hopes were bright

If this pill works, I hoped and prayed
I would flaunt the cure in a parade

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

I deliberately left this poem open ended, leaving the reader to not know whether it works or doesn’t.

I Wish For A Fish

Mommy, Daddy how I wish
For small little gold fish

One to keep in a bowl or jar
So he won’t swim very far

His colors can be gold or red
I can feed him pieces of bread

We can feed him goldfish food
And he will eat when in the mood

I think I shall name him chips
I watch as he opens and closes his lips

He swims up and gulps some air
I just enjoy sitting down to stare

Thank you for this fish
You have granted my little wish

Creating Life

He is the warden of this tower
Creator of life who craves power
A master of art and science
Caring not for what it represents

What could be a scientific paradigm shift
He sets to create a most unholy gift
An obsequious servant carries out his orders
Blessed with a morality with no known borders

What turns out is an astonishing creation
That some would call an act of mutilation
Stitched together flesh and bone
Lying cold on a slab of stone

There would be no sun shining this day
For this creation, the doctor had found a way
A dark storm had clouded the sky
This storm had a purpose and he knew why

A patridge flutters through the tower window
A lighting bolt crashes down from limbo
Electricity funneled to the mangled corpse
Writhing from the shock, its body warps

Desperation sets in as the doctor opens his mouth
At first a whisper followed by shouts and screams
A failure this experiment it seems
Creating life is only in ones dreams

Misanthropic pirate
Stealing words as you would steal treasure
Speak not for me
I am my own person

Slayer of truth
Devourer of justice
Speak not for me
I am my own person

Purveyor of poison
Narcissistic creature of void
Speak not for me
I am my own person

You shall not take
Something that is truly mine
My thoughts and words
Are my own
