DRAGON FLY

Oh dear dragon fly

You scare me not

With the transparent silk apparels

And many beastly legs

With such huge eyes that

Take up most of your head

And lips protruding

That kisses the flowers

Turning their shivering stamens

In a day dream.

Why were you named a dragon,

Do you remember?

For I still can’t figure out

The logic of naming

Unless it was for them

To make you carry a stone

Many times your weight

As they sometimes do.

But dance on, you should

In the air

Drunk with nectar and carrying life’s pollen

Intoxicated with the sweet smells

Of flowers far and wide

I beg you

Come to my dream

Dancing in your dragon apparel

Scare me for once

As only you could do.
