My eyes are blurred, in pastel pink

I think I’ve had too much to drink

Nothing’s making any sense

Imagination, my self defense

With trickery, you change my vision

Enough to cause this indecision

Do I carry on, the way I am

Or sober up, with another gram

That brings my focus back in view

Though things remain, quite askew

Perhaps it’s best to sleep it off

Forget the drink, what was that quaff?

That made everything, before me, blurry

While time blew by me, in a hurry

With this, a bitter pill, to swallow

Is this the path I’m doomed to follow?

Stories told, of dragons, bold
They terrorize and maim
Fire breathing, ever seething
My dragon’s not the same

He comforts me, can’t you see
I hold his hand in mine
Always caring, heart felt sharing
He makes me feel just fine

Never judge, or begrudge
He really is a dream
Calm and free, next to me
My dragon reigns supreme

Friday Fantasy ~ Three Mighty Dragons – #poetry of #fire

They came about, in dark of night

Thumping, hear them in their flight

With the dawning of a sleepy sky

Majestic wings, powerfully fly

Down to where, without a care

They blaze a fire, beyond compare

Igniting the skies, with flames of gold

Yes, these are tales most often told

Of how the beasts once slayed the land

With fiery hearts and wings that spanned

Across the skies, their ill-tempered display

Three mighty dragons, who seized the day

#TBT ~ Imagination – #poetry

A light down a darkened path
beckons me to follow
As I approach
it flickers
making me stop, wait

Again it calls
I continue forward
not knowing what lies beyond
the blackness that settles around me

A light so bright, yet not
I cannot see past it
My eyes play tricks
seeing only what my mind allows
Fantasy settles in

It lures me
and I walk, following
unaware that I am pursuing
My darkest dreams
my biggest fears

I turn around, afraid
and find nothing
but the darkness in which I began
Yet sounds and shadows engulf me
in a sensory overload

And I freeze, unable to comprehend
all that is there
and not
Only to realize my existence
in my own imagination
