Eulogy

A lifetime wasted.

Keeping holed up,

Rotting in a cell.

Dreaming - no. Falling under a spell.

 

A lifeline ignited.

Withered ashes still crackle underfoot.

Tethered dreams and aspirations still chained by the Dragon.

Frayed and tattered posters still flutter on the wall.

 

A life now gone. A date - dash - another.
