The Sedative

The Sedative

A Poem by Deron Alexis

  The Sedative

The slim shell of my insides

Is what conceals the dragonite aspect

It lurks never sleeps

It voices the result

Of my pain

 

On occasions of entrapment

Hunted and haunted by those

Who corner it

It and I become us

And feral animosity reigns

In phoenix fire’s inferno

To decimate and plunder

 

I destroy the work of my own hands

We drive to futility

When I lose all control

And burn it all to dust

 

You’re the one

That comes to heal

My human thoughts

Like a breath of heaven

You temper the fire

 

The caress o your lips to mine

Like orchids clad in roses

And the taste of your tongue

The fruit bound essence

Of sweet serenity

My hands on your gentle curves

And I feel human again

 

So I’m asking you now

Please come nearer

I’m begging curling my claws

I’ll call you’ the dragon slayer darling

Just sedate this fear

This passive aggression

I’ll only be tame

With you

I like how you needed (not wanted) this sedative in order to get away from I guess you could say fears. It was very moving and I loved it.

thanks allot i appreciate it
The language is so moving in this and very originally chosen. I especially like: 'orchids clad in roses'. The last stanza just leaves me wanting more. Beautiful write.

Holy, this is really good, over the top emotive. Bit of everything in there, fear, anxiety, apprehension and need. Sounds like the white knight with a desperate twist!

'Like orchids clad in roses'

Jazzy, love it....
