The other night I was thinking of a poem and the words Blazing Minds kept buzzing in my head so I started putting something together on my blackberry and out came a poem inspired by poker tournaments. Since the poem was titled Blazing Minds I saw it more than fitting to donate it to this website as it was the source of inspiration for the Title.

Blazing Minds

Blazing minds and burnt dreams
a past sundered with intention
rocking fortunes gathered
plans starting to unfold

Witty games take no prisoners
a liars cheat easily revealed
mind too slow for this ensemble
another player discarded in cards

Handful of masters, left standing
blazing minds with toasted nerves
a bet is placed to call them in
a bluff or truth about to unveil

A savage hand ends with a fold
queens kissing a wounded heart
a flush of royal seals them last
end as satisfying as the beginning
