We sit here, in the dark, in the light

We sing in the Air, in the Water, in the Earth, in the Fire

We breathe in Stars, in Ice, in Rainbows

We dance among you, we play among you

Our existence, is it a faded memory?

Through the ages we have lived

We have forgotten what we call ourselves

Reality sets in and

We become once again Dragons

Please disregard, Delete even the poem I first submitted.  Here is one that I just made, specially for here, well it may be put somewhere else also....

We Call to You

out from the misty filaments

of webs from long ago enchantment

Wistful yearnings of images

play in our memories

faded now by Archaic ages forgotten

Has it been Forever

since last we danced, played & flew

in the Blush of quick over youth?

Have you remembered?

Or is it now lost in the

misty daydreams

of the Unicorn

I ONCE TOO WALKED IN SUN LIGHT

BOUND BY SPACE AND TIME

BUT ALL THAT NOW DOESN’T MATTER

FOR ON THAT FATEFUL NIGHT

I WAS BETRAYED

I WAS ENGAGED TO AN BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

HAIR BLACK AS COAL

EYES GREEN AS JADE

THAT IS UNTIL AN WANDERER

ENTERED HER FATHER’S HOTEL

YOUNG HE WAS, RICH TOO

SEVERAL NIGHTS PASS THEN……

MY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN DOES ENTER

HORRORS OF HORRORS, HE DROPS AN CORSPE

SNATCHES HER, HOLDS HER MOUTH SHUT

IN AN FLARE OF TEETH

SHE IS NO MORE

BLOOD MIXES IMMORTALITY

OUR WEDDING NIGHT

OH HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE WAS

WE WERE WED

THAT NIGHT WE WRITHED

LOVERS UNTIL HE ARRIVED

I STRUGGLED AGAINST THEM

BUT TO NO AVAIL

THAT IS HOW I WAS IMMORTALIZED

ONLY AFTER THAT DID I RELIZE TOO LATE

SHE LEFT WITH HIM, I AM ALONE

CURSED, BLESSED, FORSAKENED, EMPOWERED, FORBIDDEN

I AM IMMORTAL

Dragons flame

Dragon huffed and puffed

and the smoke was beginning to show

Unicorn tried hard to calm him down

But was having trouble finding a way

When dragon was mad,

As he was on this particular day

The flames that shot out were not healthy

For anyone who happened to be in his way

Unicorn knew that his friend was not really

mad at him

And truly did not wish to hurt him on this day

But still, things could easily get out of control

In the state that his friend was in

Dragon was still young and had not yet

learned how to control his flame

Unicorn was hoping that dragon was not so

upset he could not understand, what he was

trying so hard to say

So he talked quietly to him

Hoping to calm, his upset friend and not

get cooked that day

He wanted to be there for his friend

But he also knew it could be dangerous

for him to stay

So he gently kept saying his name

Often the best thing to do, is just to stay

out of the way

Anger often also hurts the innocents

The ones that are close to us, so often are the ones who pay

Even when we do not mean too

It often happens just the same

Experience teaches us we often have

friends and relatives who have not learned

how to control.....

Their flame........

love is all..jaz

Lost

Lost, lost am I, forever, forever more to wander, wander alone to greive, greive, never again to love, to speak my own name, to hear it echo, echo, echo, echo... And yet I can feel pain, pain that sears the very blood in my veins, oh the torture, the torture, the pain of my life, oh what weels, racks, fires, what old or newer torture must I receive, recieve before I find myself again, that faint and filmy vision of a person I think is myself, who is yet so different. My life will be forever lonely as I lie, waiting, waiting,waiting forever.

Hey lissa, this is my new poem, I really didn't put much into it, so could you redo the contest with this one? Thanks!

While I appreciate the sentiment....

I do not believe my poem (the 2nd one) is that great....how about, this round, everyone is a winner, but if one person must be chosen, then I would say....that's a hard one isn't it?  LOL!!! Each poem has it's own merits, written in a different style and with different images.  I belive each poem is a work of art worthy of the Artist and winner.
