.
He breathes fire
and slays her silent song
embered syllables
scalded tears
consumed by crimson dawn.
Smoldered shy sun blaze
once bitten
burned twice,
he breathes fire
and turns her cindered heart
to ice.

Hot stuff!
embered syllables – now there’s a phrase; misky, i’ve become intelligent, when your email comes, i click on your name at blog and read your wondrous verses altogether! or alltogether
what i meant to say is I gobble
he breathes fire
and turns her cindered heart
to ice.
beautiful phrasing hot hot hot!
Love the rhymes, the image of the dragon, so powerful. This is hot stuff, De! I clicked on your link at Poetic Bloomings… maybe I should just leave links instead of posting full poem and also including links. Hmmm… Love, Amy

beautifully worded; love it
embered syllables, scalded tears–wonderful words De! Love this
Oh wow, I love this:
“once bitten
burned twice,
he breathes fire
and turns her cindered heart
to ice”
“embered syllables
scalded tears
consumed by crimson dawn.”
Indeed….These are the kind that sting…such passion in this poem, I can feel that dragon breathing fire on my neck. Very nice, De!
Very sad one. Not a very nice dragon at all! Loved this: “consumed by crimson dawn.” But do not like that dragon!
