Covered by the dark of the night
Above her, her lover flies high
Awaiting the moment that she fully changes
Her heart knows what the mind doesn’t
And it waits for the inevitable
Her eyes are a glimpse into her soul
They will tell a story of love
One that started merely by searching the skies
She doesn’t know when the hour will come
But she can feel the moment building
She feels her body changing
No fear is present
The only emotion that lingers
Is a feeling of pure joy
She knows in a short time
That she will be flying high
In the darkened sky
With her dragon lover

I just want to say this.I know that all the beginning letters of the first words are capitalized.This is my writing so I will write it the way that I want to.I know I will get a lot of messages telling me that I should change it,but I think I will not listen.I ask this.What if every time E.E.Cummings changed one of his poems just because they weren't writen like every body thought they should be?We wouldn't have been blessed to lay our eyes upon his beautiful words.I have received a lot of advice,if that's what you want to call it,on that I should change something in my poems.Just because they weren't writen the way a person thought they should be.Sometimes it was good advice and other times it wasn't.I just feel at this point in my writing that I will write however I want.It is my writing so there for I have the wonderful option to do this.Thanks for listening.TL
