She was born with a dragon tattoo
On the small of her back
And a butterfly that flutters
On the nape of her neck

The dragon daily throws fireballs
While the butterfly puts them out with her tears
The forever feel of heartache and emotion
Scars left that will never smear

It is often said that time heals wounds
Good and evil an everlasting struggle
Yin and yang, the north and south
Opposing forces are never subtle

She's accepted the truth of her tattoo's
As her lot in life
The battle rages daily
Fighting for her souls light

Inner turmoil, all she knows
But darkness won't consume
A once held brightness
One day shall resume

For the girl with the dragon tattoo
On the small of her back
And the butterfly that flutters
At the nape of her neck
@Mike Hauser and I are making habit of doing collaborations ;)

Woke up in a motel
Don't know where I was
How on earth I got here
What it is I'd done

Made it to the lobby
Breakfast being served
The look they gave me had no need
For the spoken word

Eggs and bacon filled my plate
And orange juice on the side
Stares and whispers overheard
"Sorry, did you say bride?!"

That's when she sat down next to me
My new blushing bride
I hollered to the waitress
Could I also get a side of cyanide

Was I just hung over
My mind was so clouded
What was I thinking
She moved closer and crowded

"My darling lovey
You seem confused"
Her soft sweet lips
I had to refuse

With teeth of green and looks that screamed
Of farm animals on the loose
Forget the fairy tale wedding
I think I married Mother Goose

Not quite and old hag
But no beauty was near
Or maybe that's the liquor speaking
I just need to get out of here

She huffed and puffed
When I would not embrace
But oh my heavens
I couldn't bear her face

She spoke about our future
And the children we would spawn
All i could think, if we had triplets
We could name them Wrong and Wrong and Wrong

I couldn't handle the thought
I had to get far far away
But "what happened last night.."
Was all I could say

So we went to the little white chapel
And found Elvis...of all places
He sent us to Marylin Monroe
Who handles all of his divorce cases

My darling bride was rather upset
But I couldn't handle being her groom
So I did what any man would
And rid myself of my gap toothed bride and her broom

Next time I wake up in a notel motel
And don't know who or where I am
I'll pack my bags right away
And call the quickest cab
Another wonderful collab I did with @Mike Hauser, he's truly a joy to work with

Sometimes I see things
Out of the corners of my eyes
But when I look to them
They are gone, to my surprise
But once in a great while
They decide to show their faces
In the most unusual places

I entertained the thought
of you and I writing together
But if we ever put in words
The sort of love we share
We would make the entire
world crumble with jealousy

I've been craving a smoke
So I've taken up gum
It's been such a long time
Since that was a habit of mine

Cigarettes and coffee
Compliment each other better
Like did we before this tragedy
When it was we were together

Your kiss was like a sip from my mug
Sweet and soft but quickly removed
A sip, save from poison, is never regretted
And you were far from poison on my lips

A love that could have been and was
Has somehow vanished in the dust
Now daily life is bleak and boring
Thoughts of you are full of mourning

Those thoughts of you guide me through
The dreams of yesterday
Where all I see are shadows of you and me
Blocking out the warming of the suns morning rays

The coldest warmth I've ever felt
As the sun rises higher in the sky
I miss the peaceful silence we used to live in
It's a shame it was built on a lie

A lie that can't be justified
In what hope it had to gain
On my lips your kiss still sits
As your poison runs through my veins
A collaboration with @Mike Hauser, and amazing poet. 7/25/2013

"You must love haikus
Because you are a poet"
I do not like them
I've only once or twice ran across a haiku that I thoroughly enjoyed

Lonely night
******* fights
Those high standard bars
Leave her body covered in scars

She waits for him
But on a whim
Someone must come
Oh who is her one

He holds her heart like no one can
Just grow some ***** and be a man
She needs your help your strength and love
She believes you're sent from up above

How can she tell you she harmed once more
In her soul is such a war
Please don't be angry or sad or annoyed
And for her well being do not be paranoid

Her heart aches and pains to be with you
To her for love you secretly flew
So lovely you are she loves you more than any
It's safe to say you are her lucky penny
