A Sweeter Dragon Flame Steady there, she appears out of a crowd and around the corner There, moving towards me Small but strong, this blue-eyed blond knows just what she is doing Rich, full lips, a good strong grip--another hand she's shaking Well known here, no need for fear, Friends gathered all around her If strength was all it took to rule a world, tyrants would be plenty Dragon lairs, dead men there and prisoners abounding; But man is not a dull machine, programmed to a certain scheme, Fixed and ever constant Spirit lies in hidden fires, within his breast beating-- Always shifting, yet still the same To find her here, to see her there, meets with my approval Resolve shines from her eyes, a sign of forward motion And yet, and yet Longing flickers sweeter flames--her need for love consuming Touch me now in a gentle dance, bodies softly swaying Around us, surrounding us, an aura of elation Lightning strikes the strangest places, a dragon-flame of fiery life The beast-electrons smoke within the circuitry of human mind And seat of emotion Fire the destroyer builds up, too; in its wake Laying waste, leaving nutrients for budding things To build their wings for flying So she flies in a sky of her own choosing Be brave today and fly my way, my one and only dragon Wing your way, fire your flames, I bid them to consume me A sweeter thrill I've never known than of my body groaning For spirit-sight, sweet hidden fires-- I take my flight upon it Randy Guess ©1998-2001 [About The Poet]     [How Could I Ask For More?] [A Sweeter Dragon Flame]     [The Devil and the Fourth of July] [Wrestling Hemingway]     [Wiggleworm]     [Short-Timer]     [Song of Extancy] [A Silent Paean]     [When Leaves Fall]     [Bipolarity]     [Weeping Willows] [Rainbow Color Reality]     [Hear The Mountains Calling]     [A Matter of Time] [Fair and Moldy Muse]     [Ode to a Scottish Lass] [In Praise of Earth and Sky and Sea] [Understanding Anne Sexton] [Home]    [What's New] [Short Stories]    [Philosophy]    [Forums] [Webrings]    [Biographies]    [Site Index]    [Contact] [Extras]    [Links]    [Copyright] <top>
