I wrote this along time ago
Through the years and the ages souls have searched.
They have searched high and low,
over and under, in and around.
Searched through the hills and mountains,
in the forests and country sides.
Yet most never find their one true love.
and their souls are left with a void.
A void i must fulfill.
My search has brought to where I am now,
still lost somewhere underground.
I enetered the cave that has led me here
a mere two weeks ago,
buts its somewhere in this darkness
of this underground cavern that my true
love exsits.
When I find her I shall know.
Not by her touch, nor her scent.
not by sight nor her intellect,
but by her cunning and shine.
A week more has passed since last i rested
and now desperation and fear are setting in.
Desperation and fear that my quest
was of foolishness and a waste.
That I have been led blindly like so many,
that I will die in my search unhappy,
and leave my soul to wonder aimlessly
for all eternity.
As my food and water have now expired,
I begin my last push to find that great escape.
Exhaustion and hunger are beginning to take over.
All feels lost my only hope is to abandon.
I must try to get back to the surface,
alas i have failed ...................... wait !!!!
Rounding the final turn I see a light.
A soft orange glow accompanied
by an intense heat.
Slowly moving toward the glowing glow
the heat feels like it could melt my skin.
The feeling that I have walked into a volcano
makes me forget about everything around me.
It is a very wierd yet exhilerating feeling,
as my body is pulled closer to the source,
but I register no sound or movement
as I move closer.
As the heat steals the energy from my body,
I fall farther into the trance that now controls me.
The ground beneath my feet begins to change,lin
taking the shape of a thin and narrow bridge.
Looking across the bridge to the other side,
there lies my goal, my destation.
The cavern is dark but it is intensly hot
and smoke is slowly wafting wafting from the entrance.
Step by step I cross the narrow bridge,
not caring about the river of lava flowing beneath me.
Unable to contain my excitment
I rush the final few feet towards the fark cavern,
only to be blinded by a puff of smoke
and sent to the ground by a deep low
rumble followed by a shifting of something
very, very, large.
While the smoke clears I begin to stand
only to be frozen stiff by a pair of eyes
glowing back at me.
Those eyes fierce and determined,
yet showing me that I have found my goal.
Then she begins to come close, too close,
so I run back across the bridge
and watch as the creature emerges from her home.
The look of awe and astonishment upon my face
does no justice to the sight emerged before me know.
A sight one could only hope for their whole life.
As the creature exposes herself and stretches,
first her wings, then her neck,
and finally her claws.
yet as she does this I can only focus on one thing,
those great big alluring eyes.
The eyes of the almighty beast,
the eyes of a ................... Dragon!!!!!!!!
What a beatuiful sight that lies before me.
Smoke coming from her nostrils ,
as she breathes with flair.
The warm glow reflecting off of her
shiny golden scales,
an envy of every king and rich man.
And here she stands before me,
tall, proud, and confident,
yet still mesmerizing me with those eyes.
When you search for your one true love,
what is it that draws you?
Is it beauty beyond beauty?
Or is it a distinguished intellect?
No matter what it is that drives you,
does your drive and determination sooth your soul?
But aside from drive and determination,
and the soothing of your soul,
are you prepared for the consequences?
Is the end reward worth the quest itself?
As I gaze into those eyes,
I know that my reward will be worth
all that I have endured.
Even though I know my consequence,
that i shall now forever
serve this beautiful creature.
Never ever will I give that up for anything!!!
So now I end this memoir,
i leave you with one final thought.
Are you prepared for what lies at
the end of your quest for True Love
and the soothing of your soul???
