Notes About The Poem

How a dragon would wrap around an arm #1  Like for a great tatoo:

- the Beast -

Sound like shaken steel

A powerful beast persecutor

All the painful nights

Gives bitter taste in the mouth

Our step in the shadow sustained

Some youthful dreams, drowned

Pain and passion go hand in hand

The jasmine cries, even in the sun

How deep and wide every second means

Free ourselves from the painful thoughts

Damnit Anne-Lise, I know I left a comment here yesterday. I don't know what happened to it. I loved your poem because I thought you were writing about ridding ourselves of painful thoughts and how bitter they make us feel.
