The Red-Eyed Dragon of Dismay

I see you from across the way

The Red Eyed Dragon of Dismay

I wish that you were sitting here

Close to me and far from fear

Then no longer dismay you'd represent

Instead its a hope for the love that I've spent

To eventually find a way to me again

To prove that its not all just a playful game

Prove to me that someone cares

Exemplify the dancing air

Between our lips that will not cease

Because you're proof that love endures, indeed

Let me hold you, keep you warm

Protected from all of the world's scorn

Dance with you in spite of rhythm

That's nonexistent, 'cause in the schism

Between the world and our all

The music died all because

I could not play, my hands were tied

Around your waste, but that's alright

I'll sacrifice the sound at least

To keep you close, I need to breathe

We spun 'round and 'round all night

Until all the lights themselves did die

Your presence no longer seems to me

The ocular experience I need it to be

I'll sacrifice the sight at least

To keep you close I need to breathe

You brewed a pot to keep me late

I'll always oblige, you're the gate

That relinquished joy to my heart

This is why I'm ready to start

The journey this early in the morn

To kiss you, touch you e'ermore

But Alas! The pot was too hot

It burned my lips and tongue, I'm caught

I'll sacrifice the taste at least

To keep you close, I need to breathe

Entice me more, you leave the room

Apply, your bosom, the sweet perfume

The smell, at first, felt at ease

But singed my nostrils it did indeed

I'll sacrifice your scent at least

To keep you close, I need to breathe

You laid on me, I felt your breasts

Our lips, they met, we start the test

Of time on us we will expire

My God! My hands they feel the fire

And then the cold and then the lyre

Now my whole body's only desire

I just to feel, I can't get higher

I've gone all numb, I'm afraid, My Desire

The blood the breath is lost to you

I've lost all nerves through and through

The night rolls on in the midst of this

I don't experience a single twist

I'll sacrifice my sense of touch

To keep you close because in the clutch

that hangs around your neck contains

My face, in the end, I've sealed my fate

But lacing your fingers in mine just may

Prove you're not the Red-Eyed Dragon of Dismay

My pride and joy thus far. :) Enjoy
