Silence.
It wraps you in a comforting embrace
Your breath is the only sound.
Can you hear that? You hear nothing.
Lose count of the time passing, relax.
Nothing is important, right now.
Silence.
It grips you in its icy claws.
Your breath is harsh and quick.
What was there to say? You see nothing.
There is no moving lips or words, waiting.
Nothing is going well, right now.
Silence.
It hides you as long as you keep it.
You hold your breath.
Will he find you? You know nothing.
Screams echo in your head, crying.
Nothing you can do, right now.
Silence.
It welcomes you back after the years.
Your breath has stopped.
Why do they cry? You felt nothing.
Lose count of the time passing, relax.
Nothing is important, right now.

Eyes
That glow
Red in the dark
And a tail long
That lashes
Back
And forth.
Thick hide
Dark scales.
Spines and
Hard plates
[sharp] Down the neck [angles]
To shoulders wide and broad, leather tough and veins bold, wings old
A strong back and rippled spine, spines and scales from an iron mine
Ancient legs that drag and carry ancient weight, no longer merry
Fire formed in cavernous lungs, fat hangs low on hollow bones
Too slow and old now to fly, still longing for younger days
And memories so old and dark of times gone by
Of men in gleaming metal with swords sharp
Of horses carrying armies over hill and dale
Of younger days and greener grass
Of chasing dames and fights with fire
No worries no troubles no pain
But time marches past
Scales fall off
spines dull
Eyes that
Once glew
Shut away
And men
Of metal
Armour
And
Steel
Win
The
Day

Mostly I try to leave behind the world
but sometimes I try to stay.
If you left me by myself, uncurled
I won't know what to say...
But life is so much better
when you are with me.
Your smiles are much warmer
than they have any right to be.
And though you are so far from me
you ease the pain I can not bare.
You always so close seem to be,
with all the words I wish to hear
And though sometimes I wish to leave
I found a reason to just stay:
You always find your way to me
and always know what you should say.
