Origin Of The Flame...1*
I woke with words tangled
Under my nails,
As blood beneath
Dragon scales...during
The kill.
Something, someone...
They are the same...
Will stop breathing
By nails, words, blood,
But grieve nonetheless,
For one who swallows these
Words, not their
Meaning.
Or, meaning misread,
Leans on it's
Knife.
A scorpion lays sleeping
Under the Dragon.
Who will move first...
At what cost?

The Scorpion was hurt in a fight, he fights back against his own wish, he believes that salvation will come. And it will. The dragon tries to help the Scorpion but does not have the final answer. The question is will the Scorpion and Fish hear the word of Jesus and finally reconcile there differences? I say so

I woke the same way this Morning.It almost Seems like your Poem fits my mood perfectly.
The Violation-for comforting Words to a Family with a Son that Fought a fight of Good Faith and Yahoo Took it down. I am protesting all day today. I can't believe they wouldn't bend their Rules for Such a Case.
Have you Got a Poem for Such Carelessness as this E.

This poem is not something that can be commented on on the spur of the moment. I reserve the right to mull it over and comment later.- I did enjoy it - like all your poetry, and right now I am unable to do it justice.

I find it analogous to Zodiac signs; though I have no idea of who first.
I am curious though in a metaphorical sense, relating the first stanza to the final, in how Kill and move first might relate.
Good on ya.
