Do not look now life turned sixty


Dragon lives inside of me still


Wax ribbons for wings and beady lies


Takes the power from soul and laughs


All the windows burn from his flame


Childhood lives strong and I am insane


In a bar glasses just get in the way


Bottle up and down the gullet swell


Pirates on the sea of life skull crossed


Bones and Jones in a locker with Davy


Ride higher and higher puff’s tail


Dragon has tears for the old is weak


Body staggers in controlled roll


Borderline dreamer in hell seeks


Airplanes of one string hanging thunder


Kings still bow in fear of brimstone


Kept in silence for so long returns for encore


Paper slaps him in the mold of old t gold wrapped


Glass balanced on her breast she passed the test


Puff lives in the sin left in my mind done gone


Waves splash in a cherry lane so many we know


Dragon leaves the cave blinded by the light


A New World filled with Saturday night live


Taste her in the wind of grace moving forward


Young as thirty-five going on decrepit fogy


Line blown from the razor left a close shave


Eternity screams and demands my presence


Well we lived in the thrill of love on a hill


Mud in the valley as our souls sailed into air


Angels of life take and give each rest as peace


Dragons left dead in ashes or blood on champion’s sword
