Dream of a dragon - Poem
10 years ago
P..purrr... This is the first longer poem I wrote... Hard to tell why exactly... just got inspired to c:
In fact I'm surprised I managed to rhyme so much in English ._.' Yet I'm sure many parts sound quite awkward... sorry for that :(
Hope you people enjoy nevertheless ^_^
*sits on haunches and starts telling*
Strong eyes, a pointy nose
Scales glistening, up on a hill
Suddenly I see and stand still,
it looks back, I feel so close.
The feet on Flowers and grass,
the tail swaying calmly back and forth
I see a light, it's the sun, it's its heart
Yet I watch, feeling the embrass'
A smile appears on the snout,
My feet move me closer,
nothing can be done about.
I stretch out my hand, I hear a roar,
But I touch the scales, the eyes watch
And it lets me do without a scratch.
The fire in its heart grows and glows,
Feelings cloud my mind just in flows,
A tear forms in its eye,
striking my body. I feel fire, I feel pain.
"Let me go!..." out I cry.
Yet the creature takes from me the strain.
I change - scales where there was skin,
Paws with claws grow
Wings, tail, fins in a row.
Fire seems to pulse in my body, I fear
I fall back, at the end of the tail, a fin,
and on my head the purple tear.
Proudly its wings spread, ready to fly
I feel the warmth, the power
Suddenly it rises, right up to the sky
There's no harm, no broken flower.
My body is new, prepared for the same.
Leaving evr'thing behind, is it a shame?
Where's the target, where the reason?
Life hurts, life demands, sometimes like a prison.
No time for thoughts. Air rushes past my ears,
my wings moving, flapping up and down,
in the eyes, only its light and the stars.
I catch up, admiring the world before the dawn.
What will I see? What will be shown?
Together we rise, high and higher,
the feeling of liberty sending us through
clouds in our way, yet not being tire.
It's tail swaying left and right, as it flew.
Minutes, hours, days seem to rush and pass
while together we cross the sky.
Suddenly: a shadow visible, it's sly,
around like water upon us, it's been cast.
Creatures are revealed, we are not alone!
Hidden from others eyes we have one target,
a mountain made of crystal, light and stone.
Up up at the tip our feet on the ground they set.
"Welcome to the land of dragons!", a strong voice says.
I stare into a crystal - glistening and glowing.
It emits a power and the magnificent rays.
It gives me a peek, a glimpse of the world
My head lowers - peace, wings and glory is showing.
I enter, there's nothing what could me hold.
On the other side I am. The world is bright.
Looking around I see the creatures fly.
I'm not alone, never again - its so light.
I stretch my head up into the sky.
My chest swells with air,
out I let a roar of the flair.
In front of me it lands again,
the creature of scales and glow.
I bow deep. Still a frien'?
"Thank you", I whisper slow.
The eyes close, head nods – breathing.
Though I feel the heat, me touching.
Its light burns up, like a shining star
The view blurs and I stretch out my paw
"No, I don't want to go, not far..."
Yet I feel how I forget what I saw.
The glowing fades, my heart brakes.
Eyes open, scales away - it feels wrong.
And back I am - back like always, in shakes.
- Now I ask: Which world do I belong? -
