Dragon's Wings

She lie awake
and thought of
things
like starlit skies
and dragon's wings
She felt unworthy
of her dreams
and settled for
so many things

He thought
her worthy
of a king
endless love
and everything
Although
their love
was not to be
he dreamed to see
her flying free

Aloft and soaring
to and fro
lighting the sky
with a
radiant glow

He wept to see
her now in
the chains
of someone
filled full with
disdain
For never
will her caged
heart sing
nor soar
above
on dragon's wings

She deserved
the man
he should have
been
they might be
now more
than just friends

She lie dreaming
while awake
and wondered
how long
it would take
to realize
the truth
of things
and finally
spread
her dragon's wings
