Dragons, Evil Dragons

She lay half in sleep, half in thought, half in clothes
Pensive of dragons in recent days told
Frightened of capture, and torture and rape
As was done to others with unwholesome gape

Dreams of her lover, a knight on white steed
In a far away land, face remaining unseen
Though through pen and through thought he wooed princess fair,
She thought of no other, in shadows she stared.

As she drifted, she floated to meet in his arms
Willingly wishing to waif to his charms
Rising above in the galaxy glower
Crowning her kingdom an exploding shower

Evil green dragon that lives in her bed
Will never know dreams that wash clean her head
Of dreaded awakeness to live through the day
With dragons, or husbands, forever this way!
