Dragun

Words click
off stoic lips
like lollies
licked
for fun

Click wit
that dried pit
cherries eaten
in the sun

That urge
to cure
the eternally undone
yet only a dragon's courage
will ever see it
won

Click click
tick tick
the hours fly like daze
lost in the mortal haze
of this industrious
craze

a blaze
all at once
reality razed

and you're left
crying for amun
for one last
applause worthy
boon

Cuz love lost
languidly
like otters playing at see
liltilting
upon trembling lips
calling out
for those lost and stollen
ships
tossed
drifting
rent free
tethered only to lust
the mind becomes a cave
built of everything you crave
ignorant of freedom
and everything a brave heart
gave

Slick wit
a used cotton tip
a shoulder you always meant
to provide
but always let slide
across that great divide
so wide
 of Wilde, Nietzsche,
and most of all
me

if only
your heart wasn't too closed
to see

“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
Oscar Wilde


“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
