Rednaxela Again Did Rise
The dragon raised his regal head
as flames erupted from below.
Rednaxela had died they said
but I knew that it was not so.
Rednaxela again did rise
to overcome his evil foes.
The fame he knew was built on lies
not what the poet did compose.
The stories told of his demise
were far from what the truth did hold.
He did not die so realize
that those were merely lies they told.
Rednaxela had lived to fight
consuming evil in his path.
He battled darkness of the night
that merely served to fuel his wrath.
Rednaxela did never lose.
Victorious he conquered all
But in the end he then did choose
to love the one that caused his fall.
Rednaxela could not believe
that his true love would go away.
The dragon thought she would not leave
and thought true love would make her stay.
The dragon lost his lust for life
feeling the knife stab deep his heart.
The love he had for his sweet wife
was lost when it fell all apart.
