Steel Heart

Hot tempered iron
Nothing to wound me further
A heart forged in steel

twitter poems
12 Mar 2010

Sanity Loss is a poem about temporarily being flooded with memories, visions, emotions like a trance or insanity like state. It was inspired by the 17 submissions (in blue) provided by the following twitter players:

Sanity Loss

Mind assaulted by some arcane tornado
hedonistic interdimensional visions
a fondly remembered schizophrenia illusion
abandoned like some conspicuous truant poetry
head spinning like a rampant swivel chair
thick dreams clinging to your damaged psyche
like Cheese Whiz clings to a wheat cracker
mouth swollen as if stuffed with spinifex
you enunciate a gibberish cougar growl
followed by a nonsensical malapropism
slowly the feeling ebbs, normalcy returning
you spend a moment regathering composure
while you start rebuilding some sanity

The Dark Ring – Random Twitter Poem for Mar 2nd

twitter poems
02 Mar 2010

The Dark Ring is a poem about a prostitution ring and from the point of view of a ring leader or pimp who runs such a business.It also includes a “phrase” submitted instead of a word by one twitter follower and I decided to include it for fun. Thanks to the 13 submissions today (in blue) from the following twitter players:
@DaneBlogger (The more I get lost), @GeB0i (sodomy), @weirdopoet (turgid), @PottyMouthCon (seminal), @libertytax13660 (taxes), @filigreegirl (numismatic), @AttilaBS (necromancer), @Blazing_Minds (Gourmet), @omgzam (SEO), @Williamm49 (posthumous), @Jan_Geronimo (Shackle), @SurfCityJay (reward), @pauldsimpson (extortion)

The Dark Ring

The more I get lost in prostitution
new deals found through simple SEO
a twisted necromancer of extortion
lost in turgid gourmet sodomy
that ends in a seminal release
shackle of a numismatic exchange
bitter reward as painful as taxes
yet they all pay and come back for more
shame and dishonor is my posthumous legacy
but for now I reap the rewards of wealth

Emotionless

Indelible earthquake of tawdry love
spatiotemporal twisting contortionist bodies
incommodious affection a mere irritation
exasperation at the blizzard response
peculator of a once trusting heart
now nothing but icy supplemental lust
weary nostalgia where feeling existed
just a cold embrace, emotionless

Schizophrenia – Poem by Dragon Blogger

Dark Poems
17 Jan 2010

Schizophrenia

Our dark twin waits in line
a turn to take my mind
I sleep away this time
dreaming this life was mine

My turn comes around once more
desolation around me again
my dark twin’s fun and games
a price paid in spades

I am not ready to leave again
my time keeps getting shorter
pieces of lives fractured
when will I be whole

The horrors I face this time
my dark twin must be stopped
turning myself in at last
a ward to call my own

-Poem by Dragon Blogger
