Summary:
Late night musing. Essentially thinking out loud, as I often do. - Damian DeadLove

Chasing after dragons always ends badly

It’s pride that needs to conquer the beast

Morrison is singing about loving her madly

Strange creatures interrupt a zombie feast

 

Skeleton key opens these forbidden doors

What ever walks through can’t be returned

Aggravating balance is reopening old sores

Another lonely mile equals wisdom earned

    1. I stopped on the line “it’s pride that needs to conquer the beast.” And read it again. Now I got questions…is pride the beast? Conquering self? Can pride conquer? See what I mean? Ya stirred up the hornets in my mind & now they’re buzzing! Very thought provoking piece, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write. I think in this case I’m meaning it more as, it’s pride that makes us do something foolish. It makes us fight even if we can’t win, that’s pride fucking with us. It’s also usually from a selfish place, instead of a moral thing. Hope that helps, good question though. Appreciate you.
