A Red Dragon’s Dreams

By Nabil Elassi

A Red Dragon’s Dreams is a collection of poems that delve into the heart of the universe and what makes us human. From metaphorical poems and tongue twisters to brain-teasing riddles, the message is one of unity, love, and appreciation for all we see, feel, touch, and hear. The poems unveil the strange mysteries of the universe through simple words, sentences, and sometimes shapes, often exploring existential thoughts, dreamland experiences, and varied perspectives on pain, unfairness, and frustration. Yet, one theme connects these diverse poems: hope.

A Book

A book is a funny thing,

Because if you think about it,

A book is an object,

That we use Earth,

To manufacture,

With the earth’s,

Tangible heart,

A book is an idea,

That we once thought,

To write,

With the thoughts,

We were taught,

A book is a message,

That we once believed in,

To inspire,

More messages,

We will preach,

A book is history,

That was once lived,

To travel,

Into the past,

Of a place,

Of a mind,

Of a time,

A book is art,

That is of the conscious,

To admire,

To love,

To understand,

To relate,

To feel,

A book is a funny thing,

Because whether it is,

Right or wrong,

True or false,

We can still consider,

We can consider it art,

We can consider
