A Love Unbourn

It’s quiet here in the castle Where you can see for miles Down there the world below knows nothing of my exile For I was once a wizard outside the court of kings and flew amongst the dragons upon their ancient wings I conjured fear among the people raining fire from above I burned their towns to the ground until I fell in love Here within my tower time does not exist. Yet I do not mourn for love unbourn, cherishing her myth. When you seek to destroy an enemy You must first walk along their paths So I took their form from magic born of ageless spells I cast It was down there that I saw her such a small and fragile thing She caught my heart in subtle art when I first heard her sing She sang the song of dragons With tears in her eyes Of legends gone, archaic spawn who once commanded skies Here within my tower time does not exist. Yet I do not mourn for love unbourn, cherishing her myth. She knew the breath I carried When next she caught my eye For beneath our skin we were kin I knew she too could fly I wanted only to consume her my soul scorched within our storm For when two dragons meet and share their heat They take their natural form We never touched, we never held As I felt the lance pierce my side For in the square, the King’s guard there so too slayed my future bride Here within my tower time does not exist. Yet I do not mourn for love unbourn, cherishing her myth. When dragons walk as humans and in their form we bleed We cannot change nor rearrange and lose our magic in this breed Time brings not forgiveness, it only shows the cost. For every spell a heart can cast, there’s twice as much that’s lost. The tower keeps my secret, the valley speaks her name. And love that burns in dragon blood leaves nothing but the flame. Here within my tower time does not exist. Yet I do not mourn for love unbourn, cherishing her myth. I do not mourn for love unbourn, cherishing her myth.
