Tragic Magic

by | Dec 4, 2007 | Poetically Correct

Never wake a sleeping Dragon.
Whisper, lest s/he hear.

Tiptoe in the halls.
Shut windows and doors.
See candlelight and shadows
Flicker and flow.

Listen carefully
Before you walk with me:
He is She.
She is He.
Born of fire.
A fierce Protector,
shape shifter,
potential predator.

Curved overgrown claws,
Each a smooth sharp machete,
Resting cold and dormant
On a cement bed
Under a webbed canopy
Dreaming of olde battles.

Taster of metallic salt,
Blood, sweat and tears.
Bittersweet vengeance.
All that’s in you.
All that’s in me.
