Here is the poem of the day, this is one of my favorites of the set.
Hope you enjoy!
Dandelion Queen
My heart
beats quickly,
running
through the pathways of my veins,
intoxicating
each cell with a deadly poison.
Chemicals
pollute my brain as it tries to weed through the nonsense,
losing logic
as it is eaten by acids,
dripping out
of my eyes as dying logic generally does.
Having no other
way to escape the emotions
tear filled
logic seeps its way down my freckled cheeks,
for they
know their imminent death is near,
as the heart
reconquers her fortress,
taking back
what little is hers.
This time
reinforced with false hopes of future fantasies
of a simple
yet beautiful life.
She
continues on her mission
to destroy
all that is in her path,
so as to
prove her strength and idiocy.
Her teeth
sinking passion evades all other feelings,
and she
shall take no prisoners.
The brain is
on its own,
as there are
no great allies to be made in this bitter battle.
It stands
frozen in amazement
at how such
a small thing can change everything,
at how
something so harmonious and wonderful can be destroyed with one look,
one hug,
one touch of
the hand,
one moment -
an innocent comment transformed into the worst of interpretations,
allowing the
mind to wonder off,
led astray
by the heart into a field of confused dandelions,
who know not
which way to roam.
Even though
the sun is shining behind them,
they twist
and turn,
bound only
by the soft soil on which they sit,
and being
drained of their reason,
they reach
out for the sparkle of the moonlight,
they turn
away from life,
choosing the
death of the passionate heart queen.
And the Heart Queen shall always prevail.
