black dragon

Enter the eye
within its breath
As the dragon sleeps
Crawling under
the skin

razor blades
of flaming scars
cuts in pain
In the darkest shadows

Wings curtains falling
Iron casting
cold steel
Melting
Lies within
the soul

The most horrifying
of all monsters
Dead soulless
Weeping
Teardrops lurking
Addiction of need
In darkness

Awaiting life's fate
Distorted emotions
Cold scales
Numb within pain
Twisted in its agony
Screeching nightmares
Black velvet feelings
Unheard voices

The dammed
Living dead
Swallowing shadows
Digging deeper
Whispering inwardly
Dying heartaches

Darkening thoughts within
Falling heavy
on the shoulders
Clouds the sky dark
Lightning force
Crash in pain
Colourless agony

In thundering roars
At the keepers gate
To the deepest dungeon
Falling emotions
The dragon breathes
Burning hot flames

Black teardrops
Scorching the very ground
Burning hurt
On which he roams
A sacrifice
In black ash


Only he sleeps
Twisting and turning
In hot pain
Buried in turmoil
In the deep
Awakens this
nightmare beast

In hell
With all its fury
Roaring out
A voiceless flame
Black burns
Serpent
Of pain

"In thundering roars

Burning hot flames"
