Liam Mcdaid Poet Free verse

Black Dragon

Enter the eye that weeps
as the dragon sleeps 
crawling underneath the skin 
In the darkest shadows creep
wings curtains falling heavy

Iron casting cold steel 
Lies within the soul 
the most horrifying 
of all monsters 
 
Dead soulless weeping 
teardrops lurking 
Addiction of need 
in darkness sleeps

Awaiting life's fate 
distorted emotions 
Cold scales climb effortlessly
numb within shattered illusions 
twisted in its agony 
screeching nightmares howl out 

Black velvet feelings 
chanting inside unheard voices 
The dammed living dead 
swallowing shadows 
digging deeper 

Whispering silently inwardly 
Dying heartaches burn
Darkening thoughts within 
falling heavy on the shoulders 

Clouds the sky dark
lightning force consumed by hate 
Crashes in pain 
colourless agony reigns

In thundering roars 
at the keepers gate 
creeping into the deepest dungeon 
falling emotions sick 

The dragon breathes
spitting fire with his every breath
burning hotly the flames unholy

Black teardrops 
scorching the very ground 
burning hurt 
on which he roams 
A sacrifice 
in black ash remains

Only he sleeps inside torture 
twisting and turning chains 
In hot pain 
buried in turmoil 

In the deep 
awakens this 
nightmare beast 

In hell 
with all its fury 
roaring out 
a voiceless flame 
Black burns 
serpent 
of pain

Kelly Deschler September 8, 2013 at 7:13 PM Wow! The imagery in this poem is just incredible! And, maybe I'm wrong, but the words seem to be filled with an underlying emotion of personal pain....A great poem that takes the reader back to the times of castles and knights in shining armor. Excellent work!
