Shades of grey
worlds are on fire
they turn to ashes
it is completed
no me perdas ill die
there are
so many shades of grey
the Dragon King is
dead
his beautiful shimmering scales
fell
one by one
to the ground
the dragon scale diamonds
stained with betrayal and false games
in the gutter waste
they lost their lustre
there are so many shades of grey
death in his black coat
came as so often
completely unexpected
and unnoticed
gently pattered the dragons heart
and offered
a trip flick
and the king fell to the ground
a broken red balloon
a cracked soap bubble in the child's eye
a hidden drug
besieged his heart
as when the hornet secretly
behind an unknown cloak
add their lethal larvae
in the centipedes living body
to eat from the inside
in the funeral march
the Dove Queen walks
with a grey mourning veil and swollen eyes
Sister Lightning
with her bleeding heart in her hands
in the outskirts
of the city
the creeping girl with
the wolf face
smiles
predator like
