Iridescent scales cover
the bare back of thy love.
Trampled dreams lie between
my lover's claws.
Long, black talons
continue to search.
Crumpled bones make up
my bed.
Fire glazes at my
fingertips.
Licking it clean of my
unearthly skin.
Blood-curdling screams
would not be heard.
For I am at ease, one with
this wretched happiness.
My sword is beside me, withdrawn
broken and forgotten.
