Desires well I visited my catacombs, With dragons on encrypted stones. Then held a light above my head And knew damn well they were not dead. Where dancing shadows played the light, Red eyed dragons filled the night. I felt them in my heart as well And heard them coming up from hell. I knew that I would die this place. Entombed with dragons of my lace. And here would lie my weathered bones, Besides encrypted dragon stones. I held my old and withered lance, To meet the dragon fixed in glance. And prayed to God my youthful goal, When I was gone, he take my soul. The dragon breathes its flames of fire, And I'm ablaze in passions ire. |

Ya know Sy? You just amaze me with everything you post and of course this is no exception. Very intense in feeling. I can almost feel the fire and smell the smoke. Very well written. Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |

Sy, The poetry was so well said I knew his soul was not near dead In fact it breathed a youthful flare And posed the dragons into dare The poetry caused them to pause And break out in a wild applause Bravo! Well done Liz |
