The Dragon

A mighty knight enters as
a low growl emits
from a savage sight
asleep in its nestled world

Shielding its treasure
in a vast cavern
it stirs as sounds rudely
disturb its quiet abode

He has awakened
the giant from its slumber
and it lashes out with razor claws
and fiery breaths

Even the flash of his sword
will not defend him nor
tame the hunger of the beast
as it rises before him

In one fell swoop
It corners him with
no escape and the slayer
becomes the slain

Selfies

Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, self-image, Selfies

Uncertain of how the world views me
I take my phone and hold it
Arms length from my face
And click the button

The lonely soul looking back at me
Is someone I do not recognize
I must be doing something wrong

I take more pictures, too many to count
Determined to capture
Through someone else’s eyes
The image I see of myself

The Cycle of Motherhood

A baby cries in the night
A hand gently touches her
A mother’s soothing voice
Comforting, wiping away the tears

A child cries in the night
A mother’s soothing voice
Quieting the nightmare
Comforting, chasing away the fears

A woman cries in the night
Her mother’s soothing voice
Calming and reassuring
Comforting, holding her near

A baby cries in the night
A mother’s soothing voice
A grandmother’s loving touch
As the cycle begins again

Cocoon

It is time that I
wrap myself in
silken threads
and slumber, not
for eternity, but
for a moment, until
I am no longer
an ugly creature
but one of beauty and grace
And I can spread my wings
and fly
