Dragon

A dragon in a magic kingdom's sky.
He soars on mighty wings, away he flies.
No earthly chains can stop him,
Abandoned far below...
Beyond the mists unfolding
A long way yet to go.

All treasure in the dungeons: gems and gold -
Forsaken like a tale no longer told.
Proud wings aloft will carry
To Faery lands of dream;
A fey and slender beauty
No waking eye has seen.

The fire of his breath devours ice,
Dark secrets of the world lie in his eyes.
How many gallant heroes
A maiden's heart have won,
All thanks to you, wise dragon?
Still, you abide alone.

So snatch me, lonely dragon, from this land,
To Faery where, they say, all rainbows end.
And I will love no mortal,
No wizard and no king,
If you abduct me sky borne,
Beyond the clouds, on wing...

A dragon in a magic kingdom's sky.
Enslaved by chains of earth,
I watch him fly.

Golden Rainbows

I have no love
For mundane stories
Of dreary people
In a greyish world.

Has not this globe enough abuse,
That you desire to unfold
All information, data, news
Which dump pollution in your soul
And make your heart a hardened wall.
Escape reality, behold -
The golden rainbow
In a tale untold...

Burn paper shackles, plastic bars,
Soar from their ashes to the stars!
On flaming wings reach out and fly
To faerie worlds beyond the sky.

Where rainbows all at once ignite
Enchanting every strand of light.
Blue dragons chant a silver tune
And chase a broomstick to the Moon.
Where every scarlet dusk and dawn,
Green dryads waltz a leprechaun,
Beneath a rainbow's golden rim -

There you will find your buried dream.

Each nine to five
To work I ride
In haunted subways
Of my mind
