1.
feeling of oneness
you near me
touch of your skin
an awakening
2.
purple dawn
the moon rising over a castle
up on a steep cliff
3.
alligator
old and moss covered
waits by a bridge
for you to fall
4.
shallow sea water
leads you far out
where mush grass grows
and jelly

a dragon whose name is Sam
has ferocious eyes
and a bad toothache
