Red roses held such beauty
I got lost as I traced their vines
Enchanted as I wondered
Leaving my senses far behind

The Roses guided me inward
With every fateful step
I tried to avoid their sharp thorns
Closer to the centre I ever crept

Now lost and dizzy with delight
Without not a single care
And there in the centre of those roses
I had entered the dragon’s lair

My eyes full of wonder
Her Tail coiled around the vine
The sound of her breathing peaceful
I was hooked and lost all track of time

Resting among the roses
Tolerating me with her every breath
She hypnotized with her stare
Dangerous, she could bring me instant death

I stepped closer to be beside her
She knew I meant no harm
I walked tentatively to touch her
The skin was smooth and oh so warm

I sit down resting beside her,
Becoming submerged into sleep
At peace with the world, Protected and contented
My sleep becoming ever deep

I awoke alone among the roses
I wish that my dragon could stay
Hopefully again I will find her
