The Dragons Within (poem) by Tinka Boukes on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on April 30, 2007

Thought provoking expression of the sadness of yesterdays Tinka but you've come so far, don't look back...it just keeps hurting over and over again and you have so much to share. Let go and find the new beginnings in the morning...Psalms 118:24
Peace&Grace,
Sharon

It's probably just dust bunnies on yer eyeballs. If not, I hope a shining knight comes along to slay those dragons. If not, stay awake so they can't git ya. ;-)

I love the idea of Dragons, but think they probably tear
up the demons. or I hope lol

Yeah. I know that of which you express here, TinkaSweets. I know you do. I also know that we must not let ourselves slide down that deep, dark slippery slope. I know you know that too. Who am I to be giving counsel? I'm nothing. I'm barely hanging back from doing what my mom did. Well. Be proud. Your sentiments sure got me going. Love to you (and please tell me you're not hurting anymore) yeah, right...

Powerful feelings but I think
Past mistakes must stay in the past
Sad and some dark side of medieval
Vivid images and flow intense
Message within this write!!
Outstanding Write!!

Whoa Tinks,

'To bleed sorrows of past mistakes'....what an impact this line makes!

Like my pastor-daughter says, 'Thank God, we are dragon-slayers - not dragon-players!'

Just remember, SIS, Greater is He who is in you...

"...to bleed sorrows of past mistakes..." oh! the dragons we have within, the ones that like the monsters under the bed only exist in our minds...or?
Excellent description, a psychedelic nighmare.

Your poem and image above remind me of one of my nightmares, Tinka. I was about nine, and it was scary. I was flying but the dragon was too, and he chased me breathing fire! I remember I slew him with (of all things) a coat hanger. I saw it hanging from a clothesline down below and I swooped down and grabbed it ... I hope you are able to slay yours, sweet lady.
Love,
CJ
