Douse my flames
Smother me
Till I am not even a glowing ember
Throw your dagger
Aim at my heart
The moon will howl
The stars darken
The sun will cease to rise
Who is the dragon
That you slay
But your mere reflection
dversepoetspub.com it is quadrille Monday and the prompt is ‘dragon’.

About Mary (tqhousecat)
I am a wife and a mother of two grown children. I love Jesus and sharing my faith through written words. I currently have a poetry blog and also write on medium.com. My main focus is hope in Christ. I only wish that whoever reads this will be blessed, inspired and occasionally amused.
A thought provoking piece. I especially like the closing lines.

We certainly do have internal dragons we must manage, slay if we are lucky Mary.

We often attack each other but who is our real enemy?! Definitely thought-provoking, Mary.

Oh, very clever. We see our own faults in the other far to easily.
