Flame of Firedrake

Asleep
Yet walking within
Herself
Very much
Awake

Escape
Insurmountable

She'd
Dreamed
Nightmares
Real
And
Brought forth
Therefrom
Monsters
Most foul

Monsters
Gnawing on human bone
Bathing in their blood
Their war cries
Carrying heavy
On the outterskirts
Of her heart

I sink into the blaze
your language stirs,

a fever climbing
with each pulse of breath
wet heat unfolding, taking
hold of me,

like ink that spreads and
cannot be undone

Your words are delirium
a tremor

She lets a petal fall from her lips,
it lands on him and he shivers

Her breath is close, hot and soft,
and it makes him ache in ways
he can’t name.

She moves into him,
slow and certain..

What if for one brief hour
you were mine

clothed in the shimmer of
impossible light?

I’d drink your gaze the way
I drink soft fire, and lose myself
inside your endless
your endless night

The wind stirs her hair,
a restless tide whispering
through gold

He stands still, held by
the quiet spell of it

by the promise hiding
in her half-turned face

For a moment time leans toward
them, and nothing else exists.

Motions momentums
Crashing roc explosions
Slowing consistent swirls
Gliding concepts musings

Charging nature's truths

Reverberating off rocks
Carving ocean's edges
Glistening in contrasts
Of stilling current fogs
Inside falls magnetisms
