Ocurat
Deep crevices in cavernous mountains
hides Ocurat slowly awaking
below mist hidden trees slopes vast
spreading aside slumbered beast
tales told and tail fold
around amassed treasure
bodies
gold
steam seeps from her enormous nostrils
clatter of sluggish movement echoes
boredom and scale
She remembers the knight
burning villages screaming ferocity
as the pearl rose under a starlit curtain
shadow-figures
wailing
where she felt a sword pierce
dagger like teeth snatch
hauling her victim in equal thrust
to the sky letting him drop
with time to think long and hard
how fast it was over
pounding
thud
Her steps carefully measured
strafe longbow and feasts upon weakness
as a castle gives way from crunch of her talons
a king orders no more from fallen timbre
the anguished cries of his servants
nothing but rubble leavings of a kingdom
Ember
burning
Ocurat remembers all forgets nothing
savoring a taste of long ago adventure
her ears have perked
and belly rumbles in hunger
at faraway sounds just whisperings
of a new king a restored kingdom
treasure
screaming

Gosh, this ink-execution was delivered wonderfully! Enjoy the dark edgy story. Adding Rainbow's lyrics were spot on for this fantastic piece....Xo

I really like this poem sir, I like the words you chose to express your thoughts and the content was easy to follow.
the one thing that kind of stood out a little, were the lines beside the picture, it's happens to me that when I put a picture in, it knocks my original line breaks out. if that's the case, perhaps use some commas to redefine your line breaks.
all in though, great read , shine on

Humbled You think so Sir-Greatly appreciated...I thought long about those damn eyelashes...it seemed to help the read in certain ways...but then it made concrete to certain meanings where I wanted it left up to the reader...so I thought...if I put just a couple in...that would seem fkng stupid...so I left them all out...indeed I do catch Your drift-this may be a future rewrite-though I detest those.

I don't think anything so drastic is warranted, I think if you're happy enough to leave it , then you should go with your gut, that's where it came from in the first place I assume :)

Really feeling this one, soul. You manage to tell the story of a mindset, and of a land spanning ages in a short poem. Reminds me of a Raymond E. Feist novel I read way back ( I think that's the authors name anyway) nice write man, hope to see more like this, it suits your style perfectly and you manage to do it without being cheesy which is always a plus :)

Dragon lore is one of my favorite topics.
Cant help being fascinated by it. These are such magical worlds and hold much magic.
Seems like yours is more or or less a Warrior Dragon, a fire dragon. You craft so well, dear Soul!!!

Indeed I love them so...my lore knowledge isnt quite up to snuff other than fantasy novels I've read through the years...but love these creatures since Youth that's for sure!!!
Indeed I thought of Her as One who loved controlling Her land as well as relishing new inhabitants to strike fear into maintaining her self worthiness :)
Thank You so Much Dear Queen!!!

Oooh! Nice! I've had a lifelong love for sword n' sorcery. I try to incorporate it in my poetry often. I love the setting you've conceived here...so my dragon fetish is sated for today.
& a classic Rainbow track to boot! RJD is hugely missed. Very, very cool.
I wish I lived in Middle-Earth, or in Westeros, or some place like that...I do love the fantasy theme. (If I did live in a world like this, I'd probably sit around wishing I were a corporate lawyer or a chartered accountant. Okay, maybe I went a bit far there...)
If I had room, I'd list this one. I'm apparently at my limit, so when I have more room, I'll add it. Killer inspirational write, Mr. Soul. I'll be coming back to this one often.

So kind You are HW- humbled I am- ever grateful.
This was my attempt to capture a piece of magic these creatures held for me.
A child's first pet :)
