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

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!
