Tonight I’m Catching A Dragon
A Poem
Tonight I’m catching a Dragon
By its tail, I’m pulling it back
without fear, I’m going to attack.
Tonight I’m conquering a mountain
Straight to the top, walking non-stop
until my vision becomes black
and the cold wind smacks
the air out of my lungs.
Tonight I’m fighting for my life
Against a thousand warriors I’m going to strive
The only one to stay alive.
Tonight I’m swimming across the seven seas
whether on my hair
blows the summer breeze
or the furious winter storm
that to the bones, a man can freeze
Tonight I’m running a thousand miles
a trail of black blood trickling behind
To the pain, tonight, I’m blind.
Tonight I’m catching a Dragon,
To the top of a mountain I’m walking
to meet the falcon
who the seven seas with his fiery eyes sees
Tonight, a thousand miles I’m ready to run
until my forces cease.
