Art Deco- Art Stencils and Dragons That Fly Through the Night

Old and cluttered
this box of potential
I look inside
find the blessings I have always known
and give them flight.

Pencil drawings
dragons made to know my conquering ways
I take away smiles from all my dragons
no monsters in my closet
I am the master of my own darkness.

I paste my heart on the Milky Way
Art deco
art stencils
lined up and ready
I smile in anticipation.

I will steady the ladder
hold it safely
for you
my pegasus
my friend
to see the view.

Fantasy art
warrior women
they meet me at the gate.
I laugh and leave them roses
lest they fly
and leave this day.

Art deco
art stencils
how do I paste legends of mermaids
securely on the moon?
I melted my dragon
erased his confidence
right when I needed him most!

Back to the drawing table
I suppose
dragons can be drawn again
smiles reassured
oceans made alive again.
Drawing fire from his breath
fantasy art
warrior women conquer all.

I do not scorn my dragon
I draw him freely
and yet
I make sure he understands my power.
I am a warrior
I hold my own pen
I draw when and whatever pleases me.

I take my pencil
draw a pegasus, a fairy, a ghost of me.
I pick up all the stencils
art deco I had planned the night before
I remind myself of my own worth.
I do not need to fit in an box
I would not travel well anyway.

I take my chalice
fill it to the brim with hope
toast the smile of a dragons past
no matter the flames
or tales he sings out.
I am a warrior
a woman of pretend
it rests very safely in my heart.

Ahh it all does please me so
my stencils on the moon.
I sit atop it now
reviewing all my former postings
still silent
yet smiling
as a ship sets sail
being led by a dragon
on the Milky Way.

Have you ever ridden on a dragons back?
I have! And I visited the Milky Way!
I hope to. I dream of the day.
No silly!
