Sleeping with Dragons

[image error]


Sleeping with Dragons

No forked tongue,


Only the truth.


I slept with dragons


In my youth.


 


Lust and Ladies,


Along with booze,


Their fiery breaths


Bade me to choose.


 


Now, the end is near,


And I seek redemption.


Hot dragons whisper


Harshly, ‘No exemption’.


 


Flashing before me in


Giant reptilian themes,


I toss on a rumpled bed


Of ignominious dreams.


 


So, brothers of the bond,


Hearken to my broken life.


Seek love and nobility


In the arms of your wife.


 


Avoid the paths before you


That lead to Dragon caves


And sleep not with them


To reach dishonored graves.
