Dragon
Your crying roar soaring

Over scorched manors and fields

Black
Chill
Cruel
Fiery breath

Into your lair:
Bones spattered to its depths
Teeth harsh ebony
Eyes gleaming onyx
Knowledge, perfection, graceful strength
Uncaring brilliance

Scales dripping vermilion
Smooth ancient fluidity
Dancer of the celestial heavens
Frigid iron beauty
Vainly held up high
Knife-edged crystalline wings

Falling.
Hard-
Fast

Torn, spiritless..
Met your match
Talons glistening silver
Glacial breath sweeping moonlit sunrises
Steely scales matching ashen clouds
Sunset amaranthine eyes

Another-

Mightier, superior, more exquisite

Than you
