My dragon stands
Behind me
Claws about me
Talons penetrating
Rivulets of bright blood
Coiling
Curving
Her fiery breath
Ignites me
Burns me
Melts me
From the inside out
My liquid self
Flows
Razor-sharp teeth
Bite my neck
My life is hers
I am hers
Enfolded
Wrapped
Within her wings
Possessed
Protected
Beloved
“Her fiery breath
Ignites me
Burns me
Melts me
From the inside out
My liquid self
Flows”
… wow! This is fiery poetry. Love your work, Frank. 🙂
It’s nice to escape from the traps and distractions of rhythm and rhyme and just focus on sensation – as you yourself do so very well…
Thanks 🙂
