The Dragon's Lair

Like a dragon she sweeps into the room,

Banging doors, making noise, 

alerting all within earshot of her presence.

Her presence, like that of a storm.

Not just a passing storm, perhaps more like a hurricane.

The energy you can feel,

Right to the bone, right to your core.

Sending shivers down your spine.

Freezing you to the core.

Anticipating what is to come,

Will you wear her wrath?

Or will you come out unscathed?

Welcome to the Dragon’s lair!

Again

Falling.
Picking yourself up again.
Knowing.
Learning to love again.
Living.
Finding yourself again.
Loving.
Again.

Jealousy

Jealousy rages like a roaring fire.
Destroying everything in its path.
But what of jealousy contained?
Bubbling and boiling, internalized.

Can the raging fire within be extinguished?
Or do the embers still burn long after?

Jealousy. Defensiveness. Rejection.
Until we meet again.

A battlefield

Love is like a battlefield

Where bleeding hearts are shed

Where camouflage hides the truth

Where lovers, like enemies, fight to their death.

Hearts, like raw wounds, exposed.

Beating, bleeding, aching…dying.
