To love the Dragon

“To love the Dragon is a greater strength then to slay the Dragon”

i look upon the Dragons in my life
and the battle, the fight to slay them

i put my sword down
my sword arm jelly from its weight
my body slanted with the bias of holding it

i struggle to stand without the sword
to find balance with the simple gravity of who i am
without the metal of my judgment

it lays at my feet in a pool of my own blood
bleeding from my eyes
that where blind

as the waters begin to move through me
they wash away the angry red
and calm my features with peace

the dragons all stand before me
as they have always
waiting for my attack
because i was the one that always swung first

my fear of being without defense was an illusion
they make no move to strike me down
and as my vision clears
i see them a new

they where of my flesh all this time
i thought them separate of me
i thought them beastly

and yet the evidence is clear
without the veil of fear,
i see they where only reaching out to love me

how could i have been so mistaken?
my shame washes the blood from my feet
yet they will not allow me to look at them with guilt

instead they hold up a mirror
so i see myself for the first time
i see my wings and my scales

i lift into the air, allowing the pull of gravity to center my courage
i fly towards a freedom i never knew was open to me

My Life

I kept on telling myself I had changed and changed and changed again, and you know when I look back I never changed at all. I simply wore different clothing until one day I wore nothing at all. It wasn't the nightmare you would think it to be, walking nakid and free. It was simply who I am and I love every scar flappy or firm and every line how it flows like the print of me. I wear me as I am and I am glad for it.

A sort of walking miracle

A sort of walking miracle

She wore peace on her shirt

rainbows in her skirt

she danced on cloud nine shoes

when the clouds stormed about

she would laugh it out

'cause she says there is nothing to loose

nothing was her aim today

she just smiled myway

and I fell into the deepest blues

I lost my direction

triped over my deception

and landed in a different views

I only have her memory

I only have her heart

she just seemed to give it over

and thats when it all fell apart

the pieces scattered in the breeze

the peace she is all over me

she wont know what she did

by finding me deep where I hid

it was over from the start

she flies from one to one

loving all the undone

someone tell the news

what is she doing today

is nothing again her play

how can I catch her grooves

all I have is her gift

remembering my eternal shift

and loving how it sparks my muse

dancing prancing hearts I wonder

she was some kind of miracle walker

Grumpies got Glad

thump thump thump

went the grumpy feet

stamping on the baby dolls toy city streets

Wha wha wha!

Shouted grumpy cheeks

i'm grumpy grumpy grumpy

and I wont go to sleep!!

baby dolls where crying

because of all the mess

why did that grumpy have to be such a grumpy pest?

Teddy said hello grumpy grumps

what are you doing my dear?

I think you need a big bear hug now come over here

Hug hug hug

teddy gave the huggiest hug he had

and with this loving huggy hug that grumpy grump got glad

build build build

baby dolls toy city was no longer a heap

and finally that glad grumpy got some needed sleep!

Kissing Keys

Kissing Keys

The blank page faces me

and keys kiss fingers easily

something creeps across my toes

it sends my heart up to my nose

the page is filling up with lines

I practice at this exercise

my eyes betray

my fingers stop

my fridge besides me goes pop

I have edited

I have sinned

I have used spell check agined

oops I just broke another rule

made up a word to look the fool

sounds scrurry across the floor

I only have a few lines more

its wasn't so bad after all

got up special to have this fall
