Dragon
Speared through my heart, an arrow-
They spoke of it as a dark dismay,
But I found it somewhat to my fancy,
For it brought my dreams to play.
The scales that feathered down his spine
And sparkled; displayed upon his tail,
Caused my darkened eyes to shine,
As I beheld wondrously, the god of hell.
My tears dissolved without a warning
As his fiery breath struck my dazzled eyes,
I thought not of the coming morning
While he told me all his stunning lies.
I fell asleep while staring at the scarlet sky;
I remembered not the song I was to sing,
And so came the very last breath I should sigh-
Beneath the dragon's heavy wing.
