the ass-end of space

I felt tremors
and braced myself
to be swallowed
whole again
But it was me
shaking
shaking
Chained rage
one by one the
binds give way
The tail first
and then a wing
soon
soon
the dragon released

**** Maybe this one needs a little interpretation. The dragon here is not a negative image here but a good one. In chinese astrological reckoning I am a dragon and it's time those characteristics that were once very evident, should be released again****

Thank you Magnus but the fires I think would be a good thing

Seymour that is open to some interpretation not fit for this forum so i'll politely and smirkingly back away. lol Thanks for the reply

Thanks you sunshine I'm glad i conveyed that sense of relase

(sigh) I think I know how it feels to dance in the dragon jaws, it can be ugly but for an entrance is also made an exit! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Raphael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You do go deep my friend. And I love it.

So you're a dragon, huh? One of my very favorite bumper stickers:

"Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup!"

(somehow I can relate...wry smile)

I should catch up on some sleep before I try to catch up on reading, huh?

HUGS YOU

Can you relate as a dragon or that you taste good with ketchup? Big Hugs K, always bring a smile.Personally btw way I prefer my meddlers done medium with a peppercorn sauce or butter brushed..mmmmmmmmm meddler's

Naw Kacy I need something a little more intimidating for awhile, really get the fire going then I'll relax and Puff just doesn't cut it.

Wow Dixie I just reread it and holy crap i see it, but then I'm in the same boat floating in said gutter. I think it was Plato who once said
"I gots to get me some!" or perhaps that was my friend Frank, i forget they're both very poignant. lol

yes, it came across as a very sexual poem to me...obviously was not intended to be that way, but hey, poetry can have two meanings, or even more!

*praying that we both get some soon*

I love when the dragon within breaks loose despite the havoc it wreaks. Let me tell you from one dragon to another, life burns - and don't it feel good.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
