FIREDRAKE
A dragon I have slain in the past has
Come back to find me as I sleep in the
Arms of a pale white dream
He hides within the catacombs of my soul
Seeking to devour the very essence of
My being
His fiery breath scorches the foundations
Of my emotions melting away my sanity
His talons rip at my conscience stripping
Me of life’s reality
This horrid serpent I know so well
lurks in the shadows of my dark world
Never seen never heard but I know he’s there
Oh yes I know he’s there
Timberland
That
Of her spirit
Cribs mildly
Fairness about
Living organisms
And
Flowering plant
Within
Bees hum
Birds flutter
Gnawers
Are not so
Quiet and mystery
As arachnoids
Untangle their cobwebs
And
Within her mind
She generates
The sun
Gleaming from her
Soul
To yours
