Riding the Dragon

While dragons are considered to be mythological creatures, there are representations, stories and images of them in almost every culture on earth. Are they real or just part of man's collective imagination, that is a question only you can answer for yourself.



Most people don't believe
Dragons ever existed,
But I'm not one of them
Because I simply don't agree
I have a Dragon Lord,
For my lover
And he's as real
As real can be.

I often ride the midnight sky
Perched upon his back.
Together we travel on air currents
Reaching for the stars
Bathing in the moon's dim light
Then head out through the milky way
We fly acroos the starlit sky
From Earth to the planet Mars.

We wander to Saturn's rings
And on to Pluto's moon.
We weep when the sun comes up
For our pleasure ends too soon,
But we both know that we'll ride again
Because of my dragon's love for me.
And every night we'll take flight
Above the Earth's land and sea.

For more lifetimes than I can count
We have been lovers and friends
He has been my wisdom,
And his love for me never ends
With his knowledgee as my guide,
And his magic as my aid,
Each flight we hope will be the last
In this mortal form to be made.

For when my last lifetime is done,
And I move to another plane
I will shed this human countenance
That has for centuries been my bane
And take back my dragon shape,
My true self once more to be
We will again be together as one
My Dragon Lord and me.

Right on, Bobbi! I'm with Jude and Vesna on this. Life and love with Dragons is far nicer than "life according to CNN." Write on!

I love this Bobbi. I see more here than just a poem about mythology. I see a deeply romantic poem, written from the heart and soul, and her man is her Dragon Lord. Very beautiful, Bobbi, thanx for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

i beleive in Chinese culture, the dragon is a sign of good fortune and it seems this is what this poem aspires to ... enjoyed the imagery and sentiment you used ...

There is something of Beauty and the Beast when a woman takes a shine to a dragon. But then the fiery breath, the scaly skin, and the uncut, overly long claws and beard, and wings that take flight are probably just a personificaton of the old man flying to the pub every night. Only to return to his sleeping maid in her dreams in the wee hours.
