Dragon Rider

by Y. M. Roger

        Amidst the clouds you’ll find him there
        Beneath heaven’s glorious sun
        Chartreuse flecked with emerald greens
        Defiant and rebellious one…
        Each night he calls within my dreams
        Fervent and seductive his tone
        Gold eyes that quell my deepest fears
        His magic fuels my inner soul…
        Immortal we’re forever linked
        Journeymen on the wings of time
        Kinship sealed in battle and blood
        Lives touched with a hint of sublime…
        My heart has long since abandoned
        Nurturing a want for a mate
        Old fashioned ties too limited
        Painful loss would promise heartache…
        Quarrelsome though my mount may be
        Ready to fight even at rest
        Still he steadies me and I, him
        Two as one yet separately blessed…
        Underneath magic's cloak we fly
        Voiceless invisibility
        Wizards may flaunt they’ve found peace yet
        Xandros and I know tranquility.
        Yes, though this world may see us no more
        Zephyrs still whisper, “Come, rider…Soar!!”
