Dragon

Submitted by China Blue on Wed, 2012-03-28 19:47

Talons dripping fresh blood from the kill
Flesh left torn and ragged
words have talons , claws that, rend and tear
at gentle souls
Never to be forgiven
Never to be forgotten

Fire breathing dragon that you are
,burning all that defy you
Your day is coming
with vengeance overflowing

No more the the soft,female lass
Trading delicate outer shell
for a cover of iron and steel

Brandishing a sword
blood in the eyes
and an anger unleashed
upon the dragon

No more the forgiving
no more the understanding
pure hatred for all
it stands for

The dragon will meet
his demise

One of those bad Dragons that are now gone, they were replaced by the ones of our beautiful Myths where they have a soul, or the Spirit girl that rides with them as a protector.
Great write though, maybe I will have to have a look at my Dragons and see if they are all of pure being, cant bear one of those that eats flesh, all the ones I know now are in eternity and Spirit Dragons can only give out love..
lol... You take care out there, I hope that you are not isolated where you live ???? See you as soon as I can kick start this old Dragon into the air,
Yours Ian.T

Where you are sounds beautiful, and great to know that you have a lovely neighbour.
I loved the woods when a young lad as they seemed to wrap around me and keep me safe, as I spent many hours alone.
That I like being alone is ok until the great world out there grabs at your bones and as your Dragon wants to devour everything, but I have always walked with those other Dragons that no matter where I have been war zones or where ever they have (plus their friends) looked after me.
I expect you both now have time to walk with them, just think and they will be there, Yours Ian.T
