“Painting Dragons in One Stroke”
Beware of angels
with big guns
falling for you
they lose their wings
it’s like clipping nails
they grow back again
eventually
the sun shine comes out to play
the rain springs a well
in the heart good for dipping
sharp fountain pens bloodied
swords brush a new page
alternately pressing
strong and lightly
against the canvas of you
triumphantly sheer
silky as feathers
delectably drawn,
in perilous
Rapture Blue
delicately tasted
as in a ceremony
novelly naked
addressed and undressed
against the glass wall
your true vulnerability
embraced and seen through
ippitsuryu
painting dragons in one stroke

If you only knew how I feel
For you and only you dear girl
You wouldn't treat me this way
Obnoxious if not being much sisterly
Unjust, letting me dwell in unrequited love
One shot, is all you have to give me and
Novelly I will tame your precious heart
Like a confessed man wholly protect it,
Yielding devotedly to seize all its seeks
Kniphofia uvaria: My love burns for you
Now and forever I know it will endure
Eternally thirsting to nourish and cherish you
Woman of my life, PJohn hunger you to be
