Swatcat Poetry (14)

He searches the lands from high above, looking for his soul mate trying to find his love before it all to late, his body battered and worn, slowly leaking his golden life force, for he was in a war to protect her life, he suffered fatal wounds, to give her a feeling chance, because she had to live no matter what the cost. Then suddenly he sees a golden glow, upon a mountain top, just past the old ruins of a wooden bridge, he lands next to her, exhausted and out of breath, for his time is close at hand, he passed the ultimate test of his life, with an arrow protruding from his weeping heart, he couldn’t leave with them apart, as golden tears ran down his face, he closed his eyes and lays limp.
As she rests her scaly head upon his chest tears flowing free, she smiles to gaze upon the golden egg in her nest knowing that they will be forever strong as the eggs father sacrificed his life for that of the golden dragon that is his unborn son.

He was my friend he was so true, he was so kind, cruelty was all he knew, he was so full of love, it was all he wanted to give, so gentle was he, he walked with pride, he had nothing to hide, he was upfront, he was so honest, he was just the best, he would speak to me everyday, grateful to see me was he, his speech was not that of a language I could understand, his wants were for my friendship and his meal that was in my hand, I shed a tear I have even cried, because today was the saddest day, for today was the day he died, I will miss him so, I hope he knows just how much, he did no harm , he did no wrong, he was a warm blood, so powerful and strong, the power that be stole him from me, for that I feel sadness and hate, and I refuse to believe that his death was meant to be fate, he has gone to a better place, while I am still here mourning the loss, etched in my mind forever will be, the picture of his face,
Etched in my heart, forever will be how we were torn apart.

I love you my friend, you were my joy, you were my horse, my mate who's name was *LEROY*!
