Dragon's Breath

Essence of the dragon’s breath
into the harbor creeps--
gray, silent, with the chill of death--
blankets the meadow while sunbeams sleep.

Wandering, lost within its drifting folds,
isolated from the world.
Cries of fears untold
echo through its depths unfurled.

Distorted visions, illusions cast,
tremor through the air--
soulless victims on retribution’s task
beckon to their hidden snare.

Close your eyes, feel cold fingers caress,
howls of anguish--too late.
Your body shudders in distress,
bemoaning your impending fate.

I liked the poem a lot, but I hate to hear that people have been stealing your work. They must be envious of your level of talent. Keep on!
