Scorching sands, raging seas Essence of Eternity Golden lyre, flaming door Portal of the mighty Roar Goddess/God, Servant/King Watches as all nature sings Open hand to iron fist Betrayal has led to serpent's hiss Myriad faces, countless eyes Called the dragon in disguise Six-winged sun, feline gaze Many names in ancient days Aged Mother, ever… Continue reading “Ariel” – Poetry
A stranger in a strange land Descend into the lions’ den. Images of Monsters Stare down with blazing eyes At the figure so minuet Amusement rich and long!
