Come to me, my sweetest pet
Let nothing stand between us
The fire burns, inside we two
I can’t wait until they’ve seen us

My transformation’s taking place
Soon I will be one, like you
And when my wings begin to sprout
You know what you must do

Lend to me, your golden scales
Let them form around my being
Watch, as your magic now unfolds
And I become a dragon, freeing

The flames that burn inside my soul
I become one, with the Master Clan
Just a little bit longer, is all it will take
Til, at last, I am no longer human

A tragic event that brought him down
His house, left in total shambles

Disaster had struck, while he was away
He was out for his nightly amble

Clouds of smoke, darkened the skies
Ash and soot, covered his clothing

The fires had finally begun to die
All he felt was his own self-loathing

He never thought this would happen

Though he seemed not to care

This house, filled with hatred and doom

Watching as embers, sparked and flared
From the window, of his very own room

Wondering if he was meant to be
Inside, when the fires ignited

Stepping back, from the heat of the flames
How could he have been so shortsighted?

The sun lights the sky, sets a radiant flame

Now falling to slumber, from whence she came

The night covers over, and all else is forsaken

As he nestles her sweetly, until she awakens

It’s the trip of a lifetime, he told me

One I’d surely never forget

I should just pack a bag and be ready

We’ll be flying on his new Lear jet

You can imagine how excited I was

To think, he asked me to fly with him

Although I knew, not where to

I went anyway, all on a whim

We flew around, for hours and hours

I had no idea where we were

In fact, I didn’t know where he was

Funny, how this didn’t occur

I fell for it, hook, line and sinker

Such a cad, he turned out to be

Now I’m jet lagged and feeling jilted

He never boarded the plane, you see

The fruit juice became so angry and fitful

Seems there was no more room, in the crystal

Because the oranges battled, to take their place

But instead, they wound up taking up space

All over the counter, and onto the floor

The fruit juice just couldn’t take anymore

It became so erratic, it had to be distilled

Now it sits in a pitcher, in the fridge, being chilled
