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

I See You

I see You
the Divine in You

I see the many parts, flowing, showing
My truth is Knowing

and I know that Divine Part of You

Come Home to ME

I reached for you with my hands but the pillow was bare
So I just remembered you there
I reached for you with my thoughts and held you tight
Been missing you tonight
no it don’t feel right when you’re away

Got it in my head we were meant to be
It was all complete
Even bittersweet
My happy ever after life
To be the one that you call wife…

My desire for you lingers, even with you under my fingers
Now memories of your caresses tease my skin
And I’m left with this cold bed tonight
no it don’t feel right when you’re away

I love the way I fit close to you
Overflowing in my love for you
wash my troubles tumble through the floor
let me swim in your skin some more

save me from these drowning dreams
come home to me, come hoooooooome to me!

Element of Love

You are the air
I breathe you in
I breathe you in

You are the water
On my skin
On my skin

You are the fire
Burn my soul
Burning my soul

You are the earth
Hold me tight
Holding me tonight
