A single rose to give, <br />Not a single life to live, <br />But the life I am in. <br />Left without kin. <br /> <br />The rose will tell it all, <br />About the dragons fall, <br />Leaving one the last, <br />That cant forget the past. <br /> <br />Petals show the light, <br />Even when you have lost your sight, <br />Of the true knight, <br />Purest hue of snowy white. <br /> <br />Thorns show my fear, <br />As I cry my first tear, <br />For the twist of fate, <br />Which I will forever hate. <br /> <br />Leaves show my hue, <br />With trim of pure blue, <br />Even though you are an elf, <br />You care not only about yourself. <br /> <br />The blood tells you of my passing, <br />I had hoped this love would be lasting, <br />Both our families gone, <br />Except for young Saffron. <br /> <br />Elf and Dragon became as one, <br />In our only son, <br />The others were whole, <br />Even heart and soul. <br /> <br />So watch him change, <br />And grow to old age, <br />Be happy for me, <br />For I have crossed the sea, <br />I went down in grace, <br />so now I can go to a better place. <br /> <br />The palace of the seven, <br />What humans would call heaven, <br />To me it is endless sky, <br />Where I can go on and fly, <br />Till the second time I die, <br />At the mercy of the burning eye.<br /><br />Nicolette Gonzalez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rose-that-symbolized-a-dragons-death/
