Dragon's Captive

While the dragon sleeps in the depths of satiation

The knight silently waits locked in numbing hesitation

He has wished every day for a life of calm serenity

While being held captive for a more than an eternity

 

The knight is of a gentle heart, not willing to engage

The dragon’s fearful fire, the dragon’s bitter rage

He loathes the very thought of stating his desire

For he knows the dragon’s fury … he knows the dragon’s ire

 

The knight becomes aware of a tantalizing maid

Beckoning him on to a life of which he prayed

A life of untold joy and many hidden treasures

A life of everlasting love, a multitude of pleasures

 

Alas, in his dread of inciting painful wrath

The knight is unwilling to take his chosen path

So each day that passes and he finds he can’t confess

He has given one day more and taken one day less
