Irritable...
Deep and dark, the beast he lurks
Down below the rolling tides
Slowly he floats through the murk
Gleaming with phosphorous fires

Planks creak on through slapping waves
The echo through the silence skims
Fish startle from dark fleshy caves
As shivers leap through silent limbs

Mournful songs of lonely whales
Tremor and rise in rending loops
A great beak gapes, the music fails
A storm of thrashing ...
                               ...ends this tail.
PartingsBoldly strode the hero
Down the silent street
Gold upon his shoulder
And sandals on his feet

Blood crept in dark droplets
and slithered down his sword
Crimson was the mantle
Pooled stiffly round the lord

One hand held the handle
The other gripped a rose
Tied with a silvered girdle
And tears fall as she goes
Dragon Smiles: EntriesCONTEST
There's a dragon in my head,
And he's watching me and smiling,
And for sure I do not like this,
For he's thinking of me dying,

There's a selkie just behind,
And she sets my belly roiling,
And although I block my ears,
Her laughter there's no foiling,

There are bane-sidhes in my dreams,
And I'm really getting nervous,
For we all know what they mean,
And they like to sing in chorus,

And the pixies skip round me,
Whenever I dare look away,
Poking, pinching, prodding, prodding,
With fingers sharp and fey,

I wondered how a dragon smiles,
With jaws so full of teeth,
But I can live without knowing,
Of the gullet that lies
Love But Do Not TouchI have fallen in love with a bubble
A dancing dream of floating silk
A damp and fragile rainbow orb
Of shining light and glass and milk

I fell in love once
Doesn't everyone?

Oh, not for me the humble soap
I care not for 'perfumed', 'fresh', or 'mild'
I shudder at it's caustic gleam
I long for its more graceful child

They laughed at me
before I could explain

How I choke beneath its oiled film
smothered by its foaming breath
detergent makes me feel quite ill
and poisons me with fear and death...

I want one thing.
But I can't reach.

Oh, let me dance out on the wind!
throw me out into the air!
though our union be fraught and b
Travellers
We're running through the skyways,
And we're laughing hand in hand,
And soaring over the highways,
That stretch all across the land,

And we're breezing through the cloudy skies,
And mist is blowing in our faces,
And the raindrops are in our eyes,
Bringing visions of far-off places,

We're running through the alleys,
And we're laughing, laughing, and
We're racing the heaving seas,
Our toes digging in the sand,

And we're strong as strong as dreams,
and we're weak as weak as waters,
And our eyes burn such burning gleams,
That the stars gave us their daughters,

We're running through the woodlands,
And we are laughing at the leaves
Long dark hairLong dark hair swings easily past
gentle wrist and hand lifts up in grace
Soft shoulder curves down slow, dips fast
Dark long hair drags over her face

Swift shimmering skirt sweeps round her feet
quick step lightstep slow step glide
Wave of hips and pale palms meet
Shimmered swift silver slips side to side

Daintily arched flight of leg and knee
floating to meet inside swirling gown
To hang, hair wrists ankles, quietly
One arch brow lifts, eyes still and brown

Bah. Title limits.
Angels Should Stay Away When They Die

Comments and crit welcome.
There are three or four strong stories here - I can never really choose between so never write down what they might be about...

And perhaps, inside, they are in Shards...
