I am a dragon that wanders around. Here is my hoard.
1.
The night was cavern black
A heavy laden moon set in a band of starlight
Whispered incantations over a fire like a beating heart burrowed in velvet soil
We watch the ashes pale
I paint my name across your rolling flank
Ash and honey a most holy pigment
I want to doze in the dawn lit dew
Your skin smelling of smoke
Your hair perfumed by embers
Two moon scoured bodies entangled
The sun pours itself out onto an emerald canopy
Each bead of dew is an iridescent scale adorning your coiled body
