Andrea Elrod Poet Rhyme

Chasing A Thirsty Dragon

Here’s your prescription,
 a remedy so small.
For worries that weigh heavy,
 and pain that beats all.
The ivy of your troubles,
 the vines of disarray,
So take another dose,
 armor up for today.
It’s a cycle that spirals,
 a loop with no end.
The sticky glue of addiction,
 a false, fleeting friend.
Euphoria dances, 
tempting the mind,
As phantoms of pleasure
 leave reason behind.
The rhythm of your heartbeat
 caught in charades,
Yet soon will unravel
 in the comfort that you’ve made.
Delirium wraps you in silky threads spun,
Woven pieces of madness
 blanket all that you’ve done.
Here is your prescription 
and a lonely road ahead.
Later dreaming of the moments
 you wish you could reset.
Chasing a thirsty dragon 
may be hard to slay,
Eating dust from its feet 
and choking on the taste.
Here is your prescription, 
it’s side effects, I warn.
May you find the relief
 you came here looking for.
