RESPONSE TO “GO DOG GO CAFE”…. TUESDAY’s WRITING PROMPT CHALLENGE
Hosted by Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda
Today’s prompt: Use the words “dangerous thoughts” in a piece of poetry or prose.

Dangerous thoughts
Plaguing your mind
Insidious lust
Consumes you each time.

Each time you are with him
You lose all control
The depth of desire
To do as you’re  told.

Overcome with emotion
The longing persists
His lips touching yours
You just can’t resist.

The pain and the torment
The want and the needs
Before it’s all over
You’ll be on your knees.

It’s not about love
All he wants is control
He’s after much more
He’s come for your soul.

Don’t leave me, just yet
You know, I’m not ready
I watch on the monitor
Your heart beats…. unsteady. 

Out on a limb
Afraid and alone
Don’t go, I’ll be lost
Can’t find my way home.

My hand held in yours
As a frightened young girl
You were my everything
You are still my world.

No one there to love me
No one left to care
No one will protect me
When you’re no longer there.

All my mistakes
Some big and some small
You cast them aside
You’ve forgiven them all.

It won’t be easy
When you are gone
I’ll sit in the garden
Remembering, our song.

I’ll hear the music
Listen to the words
Look at the flowers
Watch the hummingbirds.

I’ll wear your cap
It matches my skirt
The one that I wear
With your favorite shirt.

Flooded in memories
The years spent together
Don’t want to let go
And lose you forever.

So just, give me a moment
A minute or two
Just need to tell you
That….I’ll alway love you.

Brace yourself for impact
She’ll soon be coming back
No exit plan or rescue
A savaged planned attack.

A blatant confrontation
Onslaught of cold abuse
Callous lies and torment
Heading straight for you.

On missile lock, you’re in her sights
No chance to break the spell
Before she’s done, she’ll turn your world
Into a living hell.

Raise your shields for incoming
Do everything you can
Diversionary tactics
Should be ….part of your plan.

Pick up speed, full throttle
Bank left and to the right
Bob and weave, in and out
Grab hold and hang on tight.

A splatter on the pavement
Abstract with shades of blue
My heart engulfed with feelings
Though nothing I can do.

Time passes in an instant
The noise inside my head
Echoes in a chamber
The things you once had said.

Believing every promise
No intention to fulfill
Left alone, bewildered
A loss of faith and will.

A random chance encounter
A glimpse at what could be
The threads in close alignment
Two ships collide at sea.

The smoldering of ashes
The last remnant left behind
You start anew recharged and free
Could I have been so blind?

No looking back for answers
Forgotten, you’ve moved on
No need for painful closure
Replaying what went wrong.

A picture perfect portrait
Enclosed by shards of glass
A feral, cold reminder
Of love that didn’t last.

Too little time, so much to say
It really isn’t fair
It hurts to watch you suffer so
To see you lying there.

I watch and wait, I pray to God
Hoping things will change
But nothing seems to come to pass
It all remains the same.

The lines, the wires and all the tubes
They say it won’t be long
I know that you have tried your best
But, things have just gone wrong.

I hold your hand, so cold and weak
There’s nothing I can do
I feel so sad, so hurt inside
Wish I could rescue you.

Memories of you and I
Pass across my mind
All the things I didn’t say
When I had the time.

Fifty years have come and gone
The good times with the bad
It’s hard to be without you now
I feel so lost, so sad.

They say that what you need is rest
That I should go back home
But it’s so hard… all by myself
To be there all alone.

As I watch you lying there
Struggling for each breath
I know it’s time to let you go
But I just can’t, not yet.

Liars, thieves and takers
No honor amongst men
Where is their sense of integrity?
They lie time and again.

Blindly they will follow
No regard for laws or rules
Ignoring The Constitution
A slew of blithering, ignorant fools.

All about the money
Their lobbyists, their seats
They will do most anything
To be with the elite.

All the lies and trickery
The schemes behind closed doors
Always an agenda
That’s what they’re looking for.

They’ve sold out to the devil
Members of the trumpster’s cult
No honor, pride, or loyalty
No concern for end results.

They’re stripped of any decency
Can’t believe a word they say
Misleading and despicable
Never thought I’d see this day.

America, our country
Home  of the loyal and brave
Now led by partisan law breakers
Oh what a mess they’ve made.

They’ve given into pressure
Led down the golden path
Promises of wealth and fame
A life of lies and graft.

It’s now up to the people
Take to the polls, the streets
Stand up, speak out, and tell the truth
Take back your sovereignty.
