Onyx The Dragon


Black as the moonless night
silent in dreamless sleep
I rise my sleepy head
my hunger makes me weep

Drawn to here from unknown
a place frequently lost
my weatheredly scaled skin
defeating nights cold frost

I bathe in burning stars
I pillage, I plunder
thy fathers heritage
puts me six feet under

I, Onyx the dragon
must face even my fears
the forgotten hunger
hidden for all these years

Such is the light of day
and visions of true love
both make me run and hide
soaring the heavens above

But time now grows weary
from lies of distant past
this dragonhearted lore
may never really last

Before the stars find sleep
and my eyes face the dawn
I hope to share my dreams
before I must be gone

Thank you ... I found myself in a restless sleep, and with all the posts of castles and knights this seemed appropriate.
Under the midnitesun I felt a bit "cagey".
Its fitting that you sir, Arthur of Passions table, be the first to comment.
Much appreciated!!

Nicely written....I could see the dragon,

Thank you for taking me back to the days of dragons, knights and fairytales. My favourite place to be. This dragon really seems to have a lot on his mind doesn't he? I really enjoyed this CT. Great writing.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
