Assassin

By Alchemist

Hello, Mr. cloak and dagger
First impression
But you know when my skin gets damper
Prison like poise for poison passions
When my emotions start to stagger
You sweep in, eyes set to kill
Like a crow with a hawks skill
Eagles supremacy for a vultures meal
Harbringer willed toward death
Harvester of omens wheeled and left

Never before the dragon reaches maturity
Shall it belch fire to inflect savagery
Its mind in an inferno, a seared monstrosity

The real sleek astonishment
Faith or fake or astronomy
Attitude or gratitude or autonomy
Where they have casted you
Altitude or latitude or economy
Coin for crown masked by conspiracy

You have created a shadowy front
Path of blood jaded by a mannerly comfort
Eventually all materials are burnt
Masqueraded as naturally scorched earth
The curse of an eternal contract
Polarize persona for fresh contact
No self Just back alleys and soft breath

A former member wrote: That the dragon's mind is an inferno...never considered before. Perhaps the dragon embodies rage, personifies the flame of unrelenting unforgiveness whose only missive is to equal in physical malefaction the inferno inside...therefore, removed from the eye, overlooked and thrown into category, the common man is made into the dragon skulking in dark alleys, focused only on the softness of foot and breath and the thrill of coming death. Excellent.
