Intercourse

She reached up
Scratched the face of the moon
And we watch the sun bleed out
Into our bedroom

With my fingertip
I traced a trail
Along her scales
Finding them each numbered

I now feel humbled
As I watch her slumber
Eyes slightly open to no more than slits
Breath though soft, smells of the pit

Ears pent back but fully aware
I whispered her name and pulled her near
Snuggled in with my chest to her wings
I made an attempt because she likes when I sing

I see her fangs as she tries to smile
She moves her tail and releases a sigh
A wisp of smoke travels through the air
She invites me to touch her, here and there

Placing my hand into the fire
And holding the embers
The temperature is rising higher
As I hold the embers

The scales of her neck has cut my tongue
Removing my hand from the embers
I marvel at the glow
I plunged into the embers to cauterize my tongue

She spreads her wings
She invites me to join her
She's my mountain to climb
My Dragon to tame

We battled in midnight's arena
With dawn cheering us on
With the sun peeking over today
The need for more drove us on

With whimpers of submission
She caressed my face
We landed near forever
And burst into flames
