Riding the dragon

By DePriest

Such lucid dreams you bring
Feeling lost in despair 

Your hypnotic dragons’ tail
Coils round me unaware  

Restrained so close
To your cold dark embrace 

Meticulously outlining 
Each detail in your face  

Flying on wings of death
You sweep to and fro 

Sulfuric tar ridden smoke
Flows from the pit of your soul 

Take me with you for a ride
Across red skies and desert plains 

Take me to that ancient place
Where lost souls feel whole again  

Your sharp jagged talons
Pierce into my side 

Releasing your venom to
Mingle with my blood and lies  

Bury me in your shadows
Hide me from the sunlight’s rays 

I’ll try to forget you tomorrow
But you know all the pleasures I crave
