I was inspired to express my love for dragons in old-English. <br />This ode which is called an irregular ode glorifies the dragon. <br />In Asiatic cultures, dragons are worshiped for their wisdom and longevity. <br /> <br />Though thy teeth be sharp, and thy claws great, waste not thy strength on me, <br />for thy beauty doth pierce mine heart worse than any wound. <br /> <br />Do not waste thy breath upon me, for I burn already a passion far greater than I can bear. <br /> <br />Oh dragon, hold back not thine beauty from mine eyes any longer, spread thy wings for me, let me see thy grace, thy majesty, thy glory complete! <br /> <br />Though thy scales turn away the sword, they can not turn away my love for thee. <br />Though thy wings block the sun, they can not block mine thoughts so bright of thee. <br />Though thy eyes stare death, I...only have eyes... for thee. <br /> <br />(3: 23 AM.01,23,10)<br /><br />Jacob Ellinger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-the-dragon/
