My Dragon

My Dragon

Embers of fire fill the night sky

Breath of dragons to children's peeking eyes

Slowly burning shame or glory

Like a forgotten long lost recited story

A piece of a star was torn apart

And hung on wet spring dew

On green, green blades of grass

The flames seer and burn on through

Our memory is blind as faith

Apocolypse of fate and fear

The end is coming, coming near

With sounds of silent songs for us to hear

Voiceless, echoes, one to the next

A secret born from lies

Upon a golden throne the dragon sits

Awaiting stormy skies

To breath and light the air aloud

With flame that burns so hot

To fall in light disgrace he found

Himself but there he found her not

A heart broken through skin and ribs

It beats for not one soul

Not even love of self he found

 hiding in the darkest hole

Until the truth came forth that night

The words were softly spoken

Whispered to my ear I heard it clear

I thought that he’d been joking

Alas he cried, I fear my pain

Alone with no help from those above

Not God nor angels saved him then

And her she found new love

He wandered cold embraced by night

It covered his loss of love

He wept and felt no pain again

And breathed his smoke enough

His wings they soared above the moon

Above the clouds he flew

A pace that none could keep

Except a lonely few

The stars they danced upon the grass

The sky fell to the earth

The dragon died then suddenly

Never receiving his rebirth

The ground was black and charred and burnt

The night was almost morn

He sat awaiting the days first light

His conscious it was torn

A crown he did not find himself

A kingdom all but lost

The flight of death had little sound

To hear it lost then found

Because if anything is heard

If anything is seen

My best guess for you my friend

Is that night was just a dream

Awake and breath in the day of new

And reach for warmth from up above

For if the dragon flys again

There will be little left to love
