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)

[Nicky Sarti]

Loved this.
Very "me" at the moment.
And I love love love that picture of the dragon!
I think it can easily be both things you mentioned... But that's what (I think) poetry is, something that means something to you (and obviously the writer)
It can make you think and feel something different each time, this may not always be what or how the writer intended it to be either right?
Brilliant as always x

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

There be Dragons :)

[Felecia]

Totally loooooooooove dragons. Just another creature I believe still exsists. This poem was incredibly awesome. This poem was well written and totally deep, nothing that I was expecting, to be honest. This was awesome and i enjoyed reading it! Thanks for sharing!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Of course they still exists......I flew one last week....

[Ahmad Cox]

I read as a burning truth in man. Wonderful job. I love the imagery and the metaphors used in this poem.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

A burning truth indeed .....thanks AC :)

[quinfinn]

actaully, the first thing i thought of was meteors striking earth. i have always thought that this was what early man saw that convinced him of the myth of dragons. it is said that there is some truth in every legend. thankfully, the poem you have offered up is sufficient on its own to stand up to alternate theory and conjecture. a passionate and solid write.

Cheers Q

[Krista Weiss]

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Wow hand spectacles!
