Dragon Rider by Y. M. Roger
Abecdarian Poem writing prompt entry


        Amidst the clouds you’ll find him there
       
Beneath heaven’s glorious sun
       
Chartreuse flecked with emerald greens
       
Defiant and rebellious one…
       
Each night he calls within my dreams
       
Fervent and seductive his tone
       
Gold eyes that quell my deepest fears
       
His magic fuels my inner soul…
       
Immortal we’re forever linked
       
Journeymen on the wings of time
       
Kinship sealed in battle and blood
       
Lives touched with a hint of sublime…
       
My heart has long since abandoned
       
Nurturing a want for a mate
       
Old fashioned ties too limited
       
Painful loss would promise heartache…
       
Quarrelsome though my mount may be
       
Ready to fight even at rest
       
Still he steadies me and I, him
       
Two as one yet separately blessed…
       
Underneath magic's cloak we fly
       
Voiceless invisibility
       
Wizards may flaunt they’ve found peace yet
       
Xandros and I know tranquility.
       
Yes, though this world may see us no more
       
Zephyrs still whisper, “Come, rider…Soar!!”
