I’d like to meet your dragon
I’d like to meet your dragon
The one who guards your cave
I’d promise not to enter
I‘d promise to behave
I’d try to see his colours
And maybe show him mine
Hopefully he’ll discover
I’m harmless and I’m fine
We’ll learn to trust each other
And never cross the line
I’d do that free and willingly
Without my shield or sword
Knowing he could be killing me
If I sought the wrong reward
Your cave is safe I won’t go in
My quest is pure and true
Nothing to do with perfect skin
Everything to do with you
Your treasures radiate and shine
For all the world to see
That’s the only wish of mine
A golden glimpse of thee
The one who guards your cave
I’d promise not to enter
I‘d promise to behave
I’d try to see his colours
And maybe show him mine
Hopefully he’ll discover
I’m harmless and I’m fine
We’ll learn to trust each other
And never cross the line
I’d do that free and willingly
Without my shield or sword
Knowing he could be killing me
If I sought the wrong reward
Your cave is safe I won’t go in
My quest is pure and true
Nothing to do with perfect skin
Everything to do with you
Your treasures radiate and shine
For all the world to see
That’s the only wish of mine
A golden glimpse of thee

I'm always drawn to poetry with the sing-song-y type of rhyme that resembles iambic pentameter...like those of Shel Silverstein or even Cat-In-The-Hat. Your poem is, of course, of a more adult nature, but the poetic style flows much the same. I appreciate the rhyming nature and your poem doesn't feel forced as some rhyming poems do. The only word that really seems forced is the last one and I think you could fix it by adding other archaic pronouns in the poem so that it fits the style.
Good job at a lovely, abstract poem.

It's an enchanting poem, Spanker, I like it a lot. You chose so poetical words to persuade her that you intend no harm. Subtle eroticism completes the work which I can't but admire. Since dragons, too, are from other times the "thee" is not completely out of place.
