Our own happy ending

 

 

Glaring the eyes,

through a fern leaf endeavor

Of a dragon who flies

to the ends of this never

 

With fire for breath

and skin rough and shackled

Afloat of this death

long a path, echoes cackled

 

And I with my blade

wield a strength not to waver

Through sunlight and shade

for the fair maiden’s favor

 

This evil unreal

chains her honor to frighten

bound in iron and steel

in a grip, endless tighten

 

In dungeons to dwell

past the evergreen mirror

Enchanted of spell

as the mist fades now clearer

 

Rusted bars honed to keep

her weeping heart sorrowed

In shame painted deep

with words stealthy borrowed

 

But I shall stand strong

Charging into the fire

To right every wrong

and protect my desire

 

Now face to face

with this monster like being

When fear it does chase

at the villagers fleeing

 

I stab at its heart

the blood quickly flowing

Loud screams rip apart

it’s weakness is showing

 

Now to slice off its head

with my sword ever flying

In moans of the dead

as this dragon is dying

 

My princess, my one

take my hand, we must hurry

This challenge is done

down the path we now scurry

 

Till far from this place

with skies ever bluer

I gaze on her face

could her eyes shine much truer

 

Her lips find my own

her love she is sending

We walk off alone

to our own happy ending

Thanks so much my friend...I completely understand. :) Points are important, that for sure. They never add up fast enough, do they? Hey, I killed the dragon, what more do you want? Besides, everyone likes a happy ending...I think. Thanks again Anto for the review and the laugh.

A very nice tale described. I like the battle and the struggle in your words. I did like the happy ending also. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

an enchanting little romantic tale that has a little bit of everything. a lucky gal to have her weeping heart rescued from those chains that bind and those demons that haunt.. I like the small details that you included in this modern day prince charming adventure.. (insert quirky theme song here)
and he gets the kiss at the end?
nicely done:)

Wow, Bravo Will; in my library; what a great adventure; wonderful, just unreal writing. I stopped about the 3rd stanza and thought, oh no, this is scary! So much emotions you brought out and in the end, you slayed it you slapped it, you dragged it through death's death, the reaper you became; to the rescue of the villagers, to humanity, man, you blew me away, I'm still out there someone! The ending's a slammer. Thank you, Dale

[willweb]

Dale, my friend, thank you so much for this enthusiastic reveiw of my work. I am thrilled you liked this one.

[Confuser]

I always like your work will; this one is mythical; and I can see this; like in a movie; what wonderful writing. I loved it; had to re-read. Y/W - T/Y Wow!

[Corset]

Dragons and mythical creatures, love and fighting to save the damsel in distress, it doesn't get much better than this, what fairy tales are made of , loved it, rhyming and count are so tight, tells a story, pretty much perfection, IMHO.

[willweb]

Thank you so very much Corsett. I am thrilled you enjoyed this one. It was fun to write.

[MomzillaNC]
