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 World Passes Me By

Wake me from this comatose state
My mind can waste away, my body is perishable
Time elapses without a thought
What I would give to savor life
Instead trapped within a dream
In a hospital bed of white linen

You have bestowed such gratuitous care
Thinking of nothing but my well being
This condition an utter impertinence
Our lives scarred while time stands still
I feel you close and feel your despair
Yet unable show the slightest response

I miss the daffy way we danced on the grass
The laughter the joy and even the pain
We used to hold hands and swing them high
Showing the world without a care
I miss the nights spent on white satin
I miss pressing my palm to your face

I want you to move on and not share my fate
Because I am trapped here in this state
You should be out shopping for happiness
Find another to heal your soul and mind
You do not suffer in this vicarious inert state
If I could tell you these things to your face

I would only put you in a fractious frame of mind
You would argue you are here until the end
Arguing would be a blessing a welcome gift
Instead I lie here wondering why
Why you and I both suffer
As the world passes me by

Fire In The Bakery

Something went terribly wrong while baking eclairs
A gas leak followed by a flame and a spark
Broken glass flying and people screaming for help
Trapped in a kitchen clouded with smoke

A desperate situation was starting to unfold
Anxiety sets off like a trap just sprung
The fire extinguisher must be somewhere
Your mind declares this affirmation

Choking now with vision blinded by tears
Crawling toward a small red cylinder
Hands finding it, an act of serendipity
You could not reiterate enough the danger you were in

You spat thick spittle and taste the soot in your mouth
What you set out to do some would consider unfathomable
To flee a blazing fire before losing consciousness
The audible fire sounding nocturne to your ears

Spraying away fighting heat and flame
A path was cleared to the nearest room
You searched one by one to make sure all were safe
Finally at last you departed this sweet furnace

Only one word can describe how you feel
Surviving this terrible, terrifying development
You have proven yourself to be audacious
Now you feel supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Respect For The Storm

Amused and bewildered by one event in my life
Drinking my coffee one fine summer morning
While feasting on some apple strudel
A clap of thunder from out of nowhere

I quickly grabbed the aglet on the umbrella
I reconfigured the contraption into a closed state
Then as if in conjunction with my activity
Lightning struck the pole in my hands with a glance

As if I were lighter than the air itself
I was flung across the island from the force
My senses feeling as charred as a well done steak
Time seemed to stand still in perpetuity

I recovered to scurry for the nearest shelter
From this day forward I would never forget
How close I came to nature ending my fate
I have gained forever respect for the storm

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Thinking About Curves

My mind keeps dreaming of your curves
My senses ablaze tingling my nerves

Smiling so tender I see the curves of your lips
Teasing me so tortuously with the curves of your hips

As if that were enough your curves know no bounds
Even after all these years your body still astounds

The curve of your back and tracing down your spine
If your body was a temple then you would be my shrine

The curve of your face putting all others in their place
To have and hold you I would begin this endless chase

All other activities, games and chores I would divest
Just to peek at the curve of one beautiful breast

I peek around the corner feeling like a spy
You emerge from a bath water dripping from your thigh

One can only want and nobody really deserves
What I would give to caress some of your curves

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

-Poem by Dragon Blogger

Wrote this poem while in Las Vegas in a conference about how each of us has both light and dark inside.

I Am Light, I Am Dark

I bring the light which shines your path
I help those who look for salvation
I comfort your children and your elderly
I am the one who inspires morality

I bleed the dark and feast on your future
I am the one people fear to meet
I stand alone with your shadows behind me
I am the purveyor of all your sins

I am the light who fills your life with hope
I am also the vast dark who keeps your secrets
I am everything both light and dark within you
I am just a phantom of your reflection

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.

Original Haiku’s by Dragon Blogger

Examine My Life

From the darkest corner
of the smallest room
my thoughts are kept
on a life to reflect on
there are answers to find
to questions I don’t know

Is happiness a state of mind
or simple ignorant bliss
how does one know when they have it
does one have to be told
or do you feel it
or keep searching until you do

Stop being selfish and support others
is the mantra you are told
love is being a fallback
for feelings that unfold
you support and carry even more weight
when the person is unwhole

You try to understand
and confusion sets in deeper
are you trapped in this box
or tear the container and go free
is this what life has to offer
or is there a better way

-Poem by Dragon Blogger
