Night Dragons Dashing away in the claws of a drake Soaring above the clouds, ne'er to wake I fell into the comfort of my winged snake So much love that until he returned, I ache "I've never been so free!" I cried, hurrying to his embrace Ripping free of a life tinged with bars and lace He gazed at me close, whispering: "For anything, I'd do, just to see your grace." So much he did, I forgot the chase Flying high, in air, love, freedom, with bountless joy Gliding through dreams, their wisdom upon this tale How I wish to be as eternal as a night dragon Ne'er to be stopped beneath sorrow's gale Days passed quickly in happiness' flight Casting upon us a shadow shattering our one last night When the knight came to return me from this height Claiming to save me from Death's bite. "Princess, he's a beast, an animal unfit for life." I replied: "My dragon, sir, shall overcome discrimination's strife." But there, before my eyes, my wyrm died beneath hate's knife. And I was taken away, saved, given to him as a wife. Dying away, hopeless, lost beneath hatred's cut The drakes fell as their wings' majesty broke Fading into dreams of a fairy tale told Mates disappearing in loneliness: heartbroke Drakes of old, tell their tale true Of how once their graceful wonders lifted dreamers and flew But of Jealousy's corruption, their magic: undo As heroic warriors came into nests and slew. Night above, carrying stars to wish upon wings Given to lovers many: hope, romance and blessings Rustling inside, untold ancient feelings The web of fate catching us all in cut strings Flying free over land; under, over sky Dancing with scales reflecting rainbows Long since gone with evening's setting sun Gliding so free above, I watch night dragons Into romance's tale of knights saving princesses From the claws of fierce dragons Marrying her for beauty, love and lust I cannot foresee the pain held by the loss of that race Sifting, whispering, inspiring new Night dragons wander into dreamers dreaming Casting upon them a tale of old and magic Memories held dear in innocence real Let me tell you 'nother tale's sorrow Of Night's inspiring depth and wishing And the drakes' soaring wisdom of freedom One thing can I say now: "We all need our night dragons." Okay, okay, so it doesn't make sense...  ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

What do you mean, it doesn't make sense?! It makes more sense to me than sense itself! This is truly a beautiful piece, Astraea...I like it so much I printed it out and hung it on my wall...I really think this is great!  It helps that it mentions dragons half the time...lol  Thanks for the great read! Oh, and I've got another poem for you... Little Spyro T. Dragon |
