Poems are a changing thing and are at worst a dragon. Come to consume thoughts and drag words like virgins to the stake. when I was a witchy thing, black wings spread over in grief. I began to breath fire from depths of pain that no longer We're hidden- safe. What a beast! Her eyes hot and tongue sharp and beauty unfolding With each rip from a torn soul, oh! And to me, the greater the passion The more a story is told. So it seems dark embers stir this creatures heat, While thundering for meaning as Joy to love, like a monster my dragon was only Trained to eat. Molting form a maidens horror purity was up to fight, Against the memories and faded- incomplete prose That only taunted the will to abide. Writing only when voice can not answer and my heart offends- the more it bends To serve the dragon's fire.
