About Dragons *heh*

Postby Mimichan » Wed Jan 28, 2004 1:17 am

I came across some poetry I wrote many years ago...and found one about dragons. Well, since that seems to be my theme now I thought I'd share ^_~. Of course this one is sort of anti-dragon, but still....hope you like. I'm not really a poet *heh*

Song of the Dragon Slayer
by Spearmaiden (aka Iesu no Senshi)

A thousand miles have I roamed,
through snowy fields and desert sands,
to face the dragon all alone
and purge the evil from this land.

Upon my trusty steed I ride
and raise my double-edged sword.
With right and justice on my side,
this dragon, soon, will be no more.

What ho! The dragon rushes to.
I see his black and beady eyes.
I see his sickly scales of blue
and cringe beneath his battlecries.

No fear, nor thoughts of doom and woe,
shall deter my great, noble task.
I'll fight this smelly, evil foe
'til yon foul dragon breathes his last!

With a snort of smoke that smacks of death,
the dragon breathes a stream of fire.
The heat consumes my wearied flesh.
The future's looking bleak and dire.

Then I raise my sword in front of me
and thrust it to the core.
The montrous beast has ceased to be...
the dragon is no more.

The author of this poem does not condone the mistreatment of dragons in anyway.... ;)

"Why do people not notice until they lose it?
What it is that's truly important...
Although I can't afford to forgive even myself,
Because you were there,
I was able to be myself (Natural).
I want to be honest...I want to be kind...
I want to be the adult I once (in my childhood) longed to be.
I go on fighting against the heart to run away...
I go on fighting against that invisible something!"

Hey, is' pretty good! You're not a bad poet. You're a better fiction writer, but you're not a bad poet. :)

... and it's okay to kill dragons if they're mean ones. :grin:

I think that is included, Eirewolf. :sweat:
Nice poem, Iesu.

I think it's a really good poem. I like your disclaimer at the end.:lol: Now I know why you wrote "Here Be Dragons," it was because of guilt.:lol:

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Ah, thanks for the positive feedback. I wouldn't normally post my poetry but it just seemed appropriate somehow ;)
