Dragons Lair
Dragons LairLost in a sea of darkness
Drowning in a world of despair
Floundering completely alone
Life was as a dragon’s lair
Shoved in every direction
Pushed until ripped apart
Lost without understanding
Life was as a dragon’s lair
Then came the thundering rain
A sharp chill was felt in my breast
Guilt was stoking the fire
I realized I was in a dragon’s lair
Glancing around I saw light
Wonderful covering whiteness
My body was drenched with filth
I wanted out of the dragon’s lair
A small voice screamed, “Repent”
I stared down at my filthy hands
A voice in my head said “Never”
I cried out from the dragon’s lair
Broken I screamed out
Yelled to the invisible voice
Screamed cries of repentance
I was saved from the dragon’s lair
Rain washed away every iniquity
Cleansing water filled my life
I still look down occasionally
Desiring the dragon’s lair
Climbing up while looking down
Still crying out, still being cleansed
Never completely out
Of the torturous dragon’s lair
this one, i like, but it is borderline to 100% kinda cheesy. it needs work, it needs fine tuning. i want it to have a more consistant meter, and am having trouble with that. i like the imagry in it, but it needs something more to make it a good poem.
any suggestions?
