Creature of Flame

Creature of Flame

A Poem by Melissa Kester

My slumber interrupted
By a man in shining steel
He invades on my comfort
And demands that I heel

To none do I bow
For, I am might and strength
I unfurl my neck and tail
And reveal my true length

The scent of fear rises
From this little man of flesh
His fragile skin, he thinks protected
Behind his shiny, metal mesh

A rumble in my throat
Warning him to go
Disobedient little human,
He strikes his first blow

A flash of his sword
Strikes down upon my claw
My rumble turns thunderous
And bellows out from my maw

He shrinks in his fear
And still raises his shield
Unintelligent little creature,
For most would now yield

I rise to full height
And he cowers inside
He scrambles away
And I chase him outside

The sun on my scales
The warmth in my lungs
He raises his shield
As my fire erupts

He hasn't a hope
Of saving his own life
For, it was he who began
This ridiculous strife

Now ash at my feet,
His quest unfulfilled
I know more will come,
Brothers of his guild

If only they knew
My true reasons and desire
It was not meant for them -
My beautiful fire

A sigh of despair
A tear from my heart
It is not my true wish
To tear them apart

So I stand up tall
And let go of my cries
I spread my wings wide
And take to the skies

As I soar through the clouds
My molten heart pounds
My scales glitter in sunlight
And my fire breath sounds

As day turns to night
I am gifted with peace
I return to my cavern
And settle with ease

Someday they will learn
I am not to be tamed
For, I am a Dragon -
A creature of flame
