Dragon's Eye
In winter’s bleakness under greying skies
Beneath the moon’s eternal silver light
I feel the darkness burning in my eyes
And fear returns to haunt my dreams tonight.
From where I do not know I hear their sighs
To guide my soul away from paths of plight.
Where will they lead me, I do not know,
But where ever they are my heart will go.
In love they take me out of flesh and skin
revealing truth in ancient stories told
and look inside to where all dreams begin
as misty curls now mingle new with old
Already done before in ways of sin
they cleanse my soul so I may hold
inside my heart the love they gave to me
and find the path of light to set me free.
A dragon’s eye upon the power’s sword
amethyst kissed by virgin’s gentle lips
is bound to truth by measure’s silken cord
that rested once upon my fertile hips.
and secrets flow from here cannot afford
the blood I spent from death’s own fingertips
upon the blade that stares into my soul;
these ancient words of wisdom make me whole.
