dragon's kiss

a princess strong and fierce once locked her heart
in a cage of thorns and mists
in a cage of skins and sighs
with no locks
with no bars
with no keys
and she wore her ribcage as an armour of steel
ever since

my love is not for the
weak
my love is not for the
cheap
my heart burns with brittle
fire
my voice brings the storm
too dire
for a soul of wine and spittle
to survive
to desire

a princess strong and fierce once locked her heart
in a cage of thorns and mists
in a cage of shakes and sighs
and now she waits
for a prince in dragon's satin
for a beast in human's shy skin
so cruel and bold
so dark and cold
for a prince
ready to shed her blood
ready to rip her soft body
apart
at her command
for her love
for her
because
some cages have no keys
and
some chains can be broken
only by a dragon's kiss
