The Tears of the Dragons.

A tale of Dragons. A tale of Duality. Two poems for the price of one!

The Tears of the Dragons.

Held in the heart of man's woven legends lies,

the magical manifestation of the elemental beast.

The grand vision of flame in flight, sets the mind to

the all encompassing wonder of a Dragon on the wing.

Immortality the foundation of their constellation destiny,

the path forged in a ferocious fire, kindled in tempest's heart.

The unconquerable depths of the emerald windows to their soul,

speak of a hermetical wisdom, a omnipotent warrior prophet.

Preaching the golden way through conflagration's eternal blaze.

Devastation, ruination, the prelude to a rebirth revolution.

A world reborn from cinder dark ashes, the embers charcoal glow,

now fertilized by the Dragons silvered tears, the lost Atlantis grows.

Author's Note

Hopefully this poem can be taken two ways. Firstly a legend of Dragons and secondly as a hermetical truth within man........but I will leave that to the reviewers to decide........I wonder which way you read it the first time???

This is amazing! I'll be honest with you - I saw the picture of the dragon and I started squealing. A dragon poem!!!! Wooo!!!!! But then I read it....and I read it again....and I read it a third time because I don't like even numbers. And then I just sat there. Wow. I felt incredibly childish. You're poem is incredibly deep and I think I might've gotten lost in the sea of the "inner truth of mankind". If you happen to have a rowboat, or even a rubber ducky inner tube..... Where was I? Um....in a roundabout and ridiculous fashion, I'm trying to say good write! I could've just said that outright, but then you wouldn't have gone down to your basement and dug up that inner tube for me. It just struck me how utterly stupid this whole review sounds. I'm sorry. I'll shut up now.

(Pssst!!! It's me again!!! Just wanted to reiterate that I loved, loved, loved, loved, really loved, and totally enjoyed loving your poem :D K, that's it)

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Do you think she loved it???

[Tate Morgan]

Yeah I do and if she didnt she sure fooled me.the length and depth of a review says a lot about the way it moves another.Always should pay homage to those who do so much for us

[Chris]

she came back... and ADDED and added... yeah, I think she "loved" it.

Well the first time I read it I understood its metaphorical meaning but at the same time enjoyed the legend of the Dragons too........I found the middle ground with it I guess......or as you might say that place between mind and heart.

Another great poem John and it stands well as it is.......but I'd love to learn more of these metaphysical dragons and wish it was a bit longer.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Well I might just add a little to it from time to time.....there is certainly room for a little more dragon blood and claw....
