Prison
 

The dragon writhes and roars within;

Reaching into every fiber of my being.

I slam shut the heavy cage door;

Locking him deep in this dark prison.

 

The beast becomes vile while incarcerated;

Waiting for the slightest moment of weakness.

His razor sharp talon reaches out to grab

The unsuspecting bystander by the throat!

 

“Fred seemed so gentle, so kind,” they say;

“Where did this evil come from?”

Growing in the dark, moist confines within;

Lurking for the opportunity to escape his prison.

 

Years of this war has been fought without victory;

Failure awaits when things appear calm.

Patiently, the dragon pumps iron, getting stronger;

Then he shatters my stoic facade of peace.

 

One day, love streamed in into this darkness;

Revelation came, I made peace with this creature.

Soothing his demeanor with compassion;

Freedom came for both of us, as I open this prison.
 

The dragon is now gentle, creative, passionate;

He adds to my personality with his alliance.

Becoming whole, not denying this part of me;

Victory comes in the destruction of the particians.
