Dragon

Black leather-hided dragon,
you do not ask to take your prey.
Like, as you lust after me
meet no resistance. I obey.

A willing offering I am, for you
to tantalize with teeth and tongue.
Teach me verity of fiery embrace
while I am beautiful! While I am young!

The quickening of my heart, it gives
no thought to the coming dawn.
With you this night, aflame am I:
in fire, I am re-born.
