Redesigning the future
30 January 2024
In prayers
I hear the Goddess
She speaks strong
twin voices
They resonate within soul
path where I belong
My birthright
piles through centuries
gifted skin
now akin
to scales of dragon’s body
harbours golden dawn
Pencil drawn
sketches shades of me
foregone hues
reds and blues
redesigning the future
for heart to nurture
Reading of the poem:
Law of THR3E – Past Lives
I slithered back home 28 April 2022
I counted my scales Irreducible creature I was compounded The dragon within flew most immense distances between sleep and wake Iridescent wings, chest multiplying colours like serpent ablaze A tail to tell tales engorged with the wings’ passion I slithered back home Reading of the poem:
Serpentine - Solace
The Dragon Egg
7 February 2018
She could see that he was speaking but she could not hear him anymore. It was as if she was in a deep tunnel underground with the waters rushing above it. He sensed that she was not hearing him anymore and reached out to slightly shake her shoulders to jolt her back into awareness of what he was saying and she felt the sensation dim. He was telling her that she had a son who was now six years old and who was a hybrid. He was born from a relationship that she had broken off more than six years ago.
She was still puzzled as to how she could have conceived the baby without having to carry it within her womb. He told her that the hybrids did not require to be carried in the womb of a human mother until maturity but just needed to be conceived and kept within the womb for a number of weeks. After that they were able to be transported and kept elsewhere in certain conditions until they hatched. She felt a curious click when he mentioned the word hatched. It made her think back to a moment during the relationship when her boyfriend’s mother had come to meet her. They had met at the airport and the older woman had behaved strangely with her, her arms going all around her in an odd way before they had departed.
She remembered how her boyfriend had mentioned that his mother had come to retrieve the egg. She had dismissed the whole matter from her mind as being ludicrous at the time but now things seemed different. She thought back to the times when she could hear a baby crying in her head and had believed it to be linked to her children being away from her for a short period. She also thought back to the times when she had felt a telepathic communication of desperation from someone she could not identify as well as to her increasing obsession about dragons. She had still sent comforting thoughts to that being at each communication she felt although she could not identify who it was.
The final communication just before it had been cut off was the description of a young human being with a tail that could retract at will. It also described the way the mother of her ex-boyfriend had retrieved the egg from her. Apparently the egg was vibrating at a different frequency level than the one she was vibrating at. This difference in frequency allowed the older woman to isolate the egg in the womb from the womb and be able to pull it out in the open air where it remained invisible and keep it with her. She had then taken the egg with her back to South Africa where she had placed it in the incubator until it had hatched. The result was a handsome young boy who could move at will between the appearance of a dragon and that of a human with only the tail remaining sometimes when he did not use enough energy for the transformation.
She looked again at the man in front of her. He was telling her that the young boy needed her now because he was growing strong and would not listen to anybody else. For some reason, despite their separation, he had formed a very strong bond with her and had demanded to be reunited with her. She wondered what it would be like to mother this hybrid child. Would she have the strength to teach him right from wrong and be able to go through with any punishments if he did not obey. Rewarding a strong hybrid would not be an issue but how to punish a strong hybrid that could cut you to pieces if he wished to ?
The man could see all of these questions go through her mind as she thought and he reassured her that the child seemed to have already developed an immense loyalty to his mother he did not know. In fact, many of the things that would have otherwise happened to her when she put her ex-boyfriend out of her life were rendered impossible by his intervention. Right from the safety of his egg, he had projected a field of energy around her to shield her from any harm according to the man. She smiled with a mixture of pride and amazement. She would take care of him. He was her boy after all and would grow to be a fine dragon human.

Candlesticks
3 August 2016
Alternate
Reality hums
It welcomes
This darkness
A gathering in prowess
Powers of shadow
We speak word
Of wavering flames
Time’s duress
Cloaked in steel
Edge grazing knees as I kneel
In sunken prayer
Heart slayer
Crouching dragon steams
Birth of Fire
In my veins
Blazing shards of them remains
As embers retreat
Time’s defeat
The waters will surge
Days to purge
Beings made
For the changeling lies the spade
Fire and water
Fourth daughter
Bringer of the realms
In dark ink
Nothingness
The growing heat to harness
Explosions of me
Flying free
In purple clad skies
Candlesticks
Light the way
Renew temples where we pray
The newborn sunlights

Promise of the Fall
24 July 2016
All is spent
Efforts and prayers
The Dragon
Uncovers
Scales and gills under layers
Mistaken for flesh
Blue genies
Sing of oncoming
Nocturnal
Silent flights
When we will roam into nights
Deeper than cyan
Man lion
Keeper of the sun
We are one
Under oath
What seeps in one seeps in both
The blazing branches
Dining smoke
Ribs a black anthem
He inhales
I exhale
Withered lungs flailing ribcage
Burning in the rage
The regrets
They serve no purpose
The chest dark
The heart white
Intervals give me respite
Between mighty breaths
In due time
My rhyme will explain
The meanings
Of the pain
When the dewdrops will recall
Promise of the Fall

Dragon creed
Our wings are shelter
For the weak
Our souls meek
We shun the glitz and glitter
Though we’re born of stars
The old code
Is more than adage
Not mere tale
Past glory
We have none to assuage
That time may erode
Soul swollen
Eternal homage
Bursts in me
Thwarted plea
Now forgotten I don’t flee
The waking moments
Bosoms bare
The heart of thunder
You wonder
Why not fear
The shield is but for the feud
No destiny’s spear
Knave and lewd
They gather hell’s fire
Rake fallen
Spew desire
There is a riddle I admire
She says it on Nile
We crawl slow
Then we stand proud tall
Before age
And fate’s weight
Curb in us the springy gait
And three are our legs
We cover
Our humanity
And frailty
Saucy words
Invisibility’s cloak
Weapons of the mind
There is truth
In between the lies
Where we find
Redemption
Overhauling weaknesses
Pennies in the sun
They shine slight
She innerves them light
Tolerance
Daily task
In their brittle light I bask
Counting my changes

Dragons in Heart
13 December 2015
I was nominated for the dragon loyalty award. While I don’t usually follow up on awards in general, I was inclined to do it for this one because of the person who nominated me, Tosha Michelle, a wonderful writer and musician who writes artfully and with a lot of insight, passion and beauty in what she expresses. If you do not know her writing or her songs, please do check her out at http://laliterati.com/
She also has many other aspects to her that I will let you discover from her blog.
The rules are 1) Display the award on your blog. 2) Announce your nomination with a post and link the blogger who nominated you 3) Present 6 deserving bloggers with the award (see below) 4) Link your awardees in the post 5) Write 7 interesting facts about you
So here I go with the facts (I had to remove the OCD part because the person nominating me already got there before I did and also because it has become thankfully almost non existent in my life now)
Moving on to the awardees, I would like to nominate the following people (I would have loved to include Tosha and Eric but the first nominated me and the second was already nominated by the first). I have to say there are so many more who should be nominated in general because their work is so beautiful and interesting but as this list has to be limited to 6 I stopped it at that figure choosing those who made me somehow think of the characteristics of a dragon as I see the creature.
And so they lived happily ever
11 December 2015
Once upon Time, not so long ago
There lived fussy woman who always loved to say no
Many a suitor would come as knight
With most shining armour but with teeth yellow in light
Our woman raised princess would look, say
I like ye outer shell but ye rotting inner nay!
Try as they might to remove decay
All the knights one by one were only faced with dismay
Plan they concocted for her to sway
The mightiest dragon for their princess they would slay
Calling creature she puckered lips
And lo and behold through fantasy world here he slips
You summoned me for a lifetime’s span
But forgive me my Lady I forgot my best man
The Lady said that was not the plan
But the Dragon blew upon the knights in their tin can
And as the knights panicked and then ran
To finally dawn upon her the story began
She realised that Dragon was King
And she being his Queen was now the story’s ending
And so they lived happily ever
She bore him fifty children and all were so clever

Ten was the Number
23 October 2015
You led strong the path
Stark contrasts blinded the eye
That dwelt in the mind
I walked yesterday
Within your footsteps’ clamours
We both lost the way
Recovering sight
I shook the night’s salty waves
And brought you the light
You breathed into me
Heat of a thousand dragons
Forgotten treasure
I frosted your mind
Brought to it a chilling peace
My deadly waters
Tendrils lily white
Reaching out to ink pitch black
Rewrite nuances
Softly exploring
I opened the Heart Channel
Regenerating
Tomorrow’s bud stems
From roots that creep within Earth
Nine reaching for skies
From nine we split Three
As you and I climbed the Tree
Climbing us becomes
Ten was the Number
We had decomposed from nine
As the candles hung
Dominions to come

Eyes will see not
Only Heart sees shimmering
Trails of the Glory
.
.
Surround me in Light
Dragon Heart beats to music
That sings in the Souls
.
.
Doorways will flutter
In between the Heartbeats that drip
Traces in Circles
.
.
Surround me Waters
That I may flow into Space
That abounds in Time
.
.
Bring into my Hands
The waves that open Doorways
Whispering Access
.
..
Dipped in Love’s Honey
No bounty so beautiful
Dominions to come
.
.
Will you grasp the Sight?
The lands open to whispers
Familiar Faces
