Father creator artist of my birth I have seen the dragons that you sketch Their skin scaly and dry Their breath like orange exploding flowers Your power exist within my hands as well To dream and to shape I am the maker as well You sketched death in all of its skeletal grace Woman with strong features and amazing beauty With your course and worn hands you molded reality A gift which I am grateful to have With a word I can bring light to a void Reason to confusion and humor to sadness For that I must express my gratitude And let all know that as a dreamer The only way I can fall and fail Is to give up these rapturous visions TO sacrifice my passion and settle for scraps This I cannot do I will not do I will paint the world with my strange sanity In my arrogance I will demand much Bullet for Brushes knives for pen Peace through aesthetic and verbosity The words may rip and tare at my gut Force their way from my throat till they are expunged from my body But they will always be mine So I must Thank you thank you a thousand times and more
