Sleeping Dragon

               To an eyeless mind -
                                                  a pile of dusty bones
              To human carrion
                                                  a rotting carcass
                A figure cast in stone
                                                  to desensitized bodies
              A whimsical relic
                                                 to lost, wearied souls.
                Lying undisturbed -
                                                 as peoples toss and turn
               Soundly in wait
                                                 as cities crumble
              The dragon sleeps
                                               while worlds wage war
              And awakes refreshed
                                                  when strife and pestilence

are no more.

3 Haiku

Desire
The emblem of lust;
How the succubus dreams of
Your naked body.

Virgo
Mindful perfection
Genuine servitude, to
The Chosen Pinchful.

The Dragon as Venus
The cool, seductive
Icy gaze belies the heart's
Ferocious fire.

To Artemis

The gentle descent
of white snow
beyond the window
I sit content
—what it’s like
with the world out of sight.
Virginity
Once held high
amidst the world’s impurity
To my naked eye
unscathed & steadfast
—the way my Earthen body
will last.
